    i just replaced a cracked coilpack since my car was running would go really lean under load/boost. and now after the new coilpack its not cranking! . i unpluged the maf and it will start but will run really rich, i tried another maf and it wouldnt start either. the car will start without a maf but will die out soon as either maf's contact the plug.

    That sounds weird. And if the car is running and the MAF is plugged in the car should die. Sounds to me like the MAF is working as intended. Try clearing all the codes, and then do a TBA. If that doesn't work treat it like a old Chevy give it a little bit of pedal as you crank it over, so vrt's are super touchy after things are replaced.
