No idea why the MAF would smoke and melt wires?? Never heard of that before. I gather the MAF was an incorrect one and the connectors don't match the wires from the plug? If you have melted wires there then you have possibly melted wires somewhere else. If the pump won't prime maybe the fuel pump relay? Worst case the ecu or a hidden bit of wiring in the loom.

There are five relays under the dash on the drivers side and a relay/fuse box in the bay.

No mate same part number etc exactly the same there was a dead short across it my fault for not putting a multi meter across it before I fitted it bought it on faith but should have tested it hoping it's the relays or a fuse I've missed
