You have a bad ground for the air flow meter,check the black/white wire for a break.

I was thinking that myself so I cut about an inch off of the old plug-in installed a brand new plug with pins just to make sure I had solid connection

Where does the mass airflow sensor ground go once it goes into the harness do you know by any chance maybe I'll track back further
