Answer
Hi Mike -

Couple things I need to ask -

When you say it doesn't crank at all - are you saying the starter turns the engine but does not start, or when you turn the key to start the car there is no sound?

Also, the MAF could have triggered a code because the engine was running rough.

Anyway, get back to me please

aloha
