Which one is the MAF? I know the MAS is on top, but then there is the senors from what it looks like a heat sensor of some sort(mine was orange). I had nothing going in the car, no radio and no lights.
i think you are talking about the icm here and that could be the culprit

so what do you do with the 2 sensors that plug into that ICM, i took the ICM off the air box and just kinda let it chill there to see if that would make any difference....nothing....but tell me i think the 1st go around i had one of the icm plugs plugged into themaf sensor....did i screw something up when i had a icm plugged into the maf sensor? i have the correct plugs plugged into correct places now

Could be something totally unrelated just coincidental timing...

I doubt it ive never had a problem like this. Does anyone think it would be a faulty sensor? aRif what was the final conclusion with your problem with your car? is there a way to bypass the MAF sensor?

my problem looks like crank sensor. I'll recieve it on friday and we'll see if it will fix the problem or not.

in the mean time, you can check is there is fuel,air, and spark on the engine when you crank it.

my problem is also came out of nowhere
