Check battery voltage static and when cranking regardless of battery age.

Then sounds liker battery is dead. Measure battery voltage. If you can jump it and get it started then measure running voltage to check alternator charging voltage. I think just leaving the MAF unplugged is not the issue. Sounds like the battery was on it's way out or alternator was not charging.

Re: 2000 Taurus

If you turn the headlights on, then try to start the car, do the headlights go out completely or just barely flicker? Does it try to start if you have the transmission in Neutral versus Park?
