And why exactly did you pick those items to replace?
What were the computer codes telling you then... what computer codes does it have now?

Have you checked for spark or fuel?
This could be anything from a bag ignition module to a fuel pump all the way up to a timing belt or even a head gasket. You can't just randomly replace parts and hope to hit it blindly.

MAF code can be caused by a vacuum leak as well.

Don't overlook the possibility that there's a problem with the MAF Sensor Connector. Also, stay away from remanufactured MAF Sensors--my experience has been horrible.
