102 is a mass air flow code. the 400 series are evap codes.

how does it run??

are all connections good at the mass air flow?? is the big hose to the air filter tight and secure??

With the MAF connected it would start fine then about 10 to 15 seconds the RPM's would decrease and it sounded like it was ready to stall but really just run rough. The air filter intake hose is secure the connection look good, i've got good PWR in 14VDC and a solid ground, from the signal side with the truck running i get about 5.04VDC. I didn't get the 400 series codes until I changed the MAF. When I disconnect the MAF it runs perfect with no issues.

did you try the old mass air flow?? since you replaced the gaskets, the sensor may not have been bad, just unable to overcome the vacuum leak
