Car cranks but will not start, but if I unplug mass air flow I can get it to run and idle. I installed two new MAF sensors on it.

Hello,

It sounds like the PCM is going out, but to be sure lets run the codes. Here is a guide to help get us started:

Please run down this guide and report back.

Cheers, Ken

These are three different sensor issues and the fact the crankshaft codes comes and goes tells me PCM. Can you tell me if the car has had any wiring repairs or modifications done?
