Replaced mass airflow sensor, starts and idles okay, but as soon as you start to accelerate it shuts off?

It sounds like you have a leak between the sensor and the throttle body, or you have a defective MAF sensor, can I ask why you replaced it? If this was the original problem, I would change out the fuel filter. Here is the location of the fuel filter and what to check for in the air intake system. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
