Car was still for about six months. Bought a brand new battery for it. Started up fine and drove half a block and then it shut off. It Started back up but shut off again. I let it sit over night went back to start everything turns on, but it will not turn over now what can it possible be? Told it was the MAF sensor?

Since it sat that long, the first thing I would check is to make sure it is getting fuel pump pressure. See if it will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then it is fuel related. It could be something as simple as a plugged fuel filter. Do this first. If it still does not start with the starting fluid, then check to see if the engine is getting spark to the ignition/spark plugs.

Most likely, any one of them will work. That's a lot of money. The cheapest is only the pump that you will have to put into your sending unit. The others include the unit. I see that is an Auto Zone page. Call them and tell them the information on your vehicle and they will match it for you.
