It's very possible the maf circuitry on your ecu is toasted, It happens, it has happened to me, and if you did everything correctly, this could very well be your issue.

Just as boost boy said, if you tested all other options, it's possible that the MAFS portion of the ECU is toast.

what would cause the circuitry to be toast? besides switching the pins around and sending 12v to ecu? would switching to map be better?
