Hi,

I will provide the info requested, but I feel the problem is related to the mass airflow sensor (MAF). That is what the code is indicating.

Do me a favor. The air induction tube between the air filter box and the throttle body has the MAF sensor in it. Disconnect the sensor and see if it starts. See pic below

Let me know.

Also, here is a link to test the alternator using a multimeter:

If the engine starts (hard start), you are getting spark to the plugs. However, here is a link that explains how to check for spark:

Let me know what happens with the MAF disconnected.

Take care,

joe
