The MAF should be in the air induction tube between the air filter box and the intake. Yes, it can cause this. Also, if that doesn't fix it, check fuel pump pressure. Make sure it is within spec.

Manifold Absolute Temp. SensorOn right rear of engine.
Mass Airflow SensorAt front of engine, ahead of throttle body

Do below and check what's missing.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
