wont start with maf plugged in

[ez8s13sr]

need some help on my sr... my car wont work with the MAF plugged in. it runs fine without but wont go pass 3000rpm.. if i start the car with it unplugged its ok but then if i plug the MAF in while its on it just starts to die... it wont even start if i try it with it plugged in(except for the first time when i moved my CAS around)... does anyone know what it could be? someone told me it could be a boost leak, my ecu is chipped, or maybe the wiring, idk... i also tested 3 different MAF's. and they came off of a sr20det that worked fine

My sr did that but it turned out to be a crappy maf. Have you tried cleaning the mafs with maf cleaner? It does a million dollars worth of good
