Did u check ur spark plugs and make sure the (neg) cable on the battery is snug on the terminal.

the not reving past 2k sounds like the maf as you said, i was having a similiar problem ended up being a ground issue with my maf. but it would NEVER shut the car down.. i would pull the loom off your maf harness double check the wiring and the connection at the plug.
