Ditto!
If that does not work, reinstall the intake tube and make sure that everything is ecure, maybe you have a leak or something.

I don't know.. I've run without vacuum tubes installed before and the engine didn't cut out. Also, the MAF plug only goes in one way, so if you forced it in the other way I'm pretty sure you broke it. I'd also recommend putting the stock airbox back on and checking if the problem persists.
Good luck with your trouble shooting. Keep us posted.
Edit- oh i didn't see that you were in Cherry Hill. If you want, shoot me an email and I'll drive down and help you out. dcp225@stern.nyu.edu

I had the same problem..I reinstalled MY MAF in BACKWARDS..Meaning it was reading airflow the opposite direction..Double check this..Its most likely the problem..I dont think a vaccume leak would be severe enough to make it stall..

Not the angle, but the direction of air flow. Take a closer look at the MAF tube. When it is installed correctly, the 4 bolt end (that used to screw into the stock airbox) is toward the front of the car.
