Still can't talk to the car through the Peake tool, so we can't run it for error codes, either. Actually disconnected the MAF and the car ran slightly better, (rather than die)

Didn't really do anything different other than replace the ignition wires under the dash.

Very strange...
MAF has to be bad. When you unplug a bad maf it usually runs smooth, until you plug it back in
