Make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and check fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes? Those are the basic checks, in my opinion. Did you try unplugging the maf sensor again, to see if it will start?
