I had a problem with my WRX it turned out to be a HT lead, but while trying to find the fault i was told MAF sensors die and then the car just wont run.

if you want to try doing anything to the maf, unplug the wire and take the whole box and spray the sensor part dangling into the airflow with elctrical cleaning spray, otherwise try a swap with a mate of freindly garage as they are not cheap!

Cheers
