what you could do is disconnect the MAF plug from the sensor and disconnect the battery for 20 seconds so the ecu clears the code... with the MAF unplugged, try starting the engine, if it still sputters and doesnt want to run, the culprit IS NOT the MAF. The engine can run without the MAF plugged in cause the DME or ECU has a preset fuel map to run from... Its an easy way to tell if the MAF is bad, cause the car will run nearly normal without the MAF plugged in.
