Default Car won't start....

Started after I replaced the TB/Intake,I started the car and it started and idled fine. After about a 10 mile drive the car started struggling to stay running and finally died when I came to a stop sign. Only code thrown was P0101 and it would not restart. Just today I checked voltage and found 5 volts on one terminal and 12 volts at the other. I was confident this meant the MAF was bad and bought a new/remanufactured one, replaced it and it still won't start. IT will start and stay running if I hold my foot on the gas but it runs SUPER rough. It will also start and stay running if I disconnect the MAF but it runs SUPER rough. Any help? I have a guy I work with who can help look at it Monday evening. He suggested I remove the TB/Intake to verify no wiring was damaged. Hopefully someone has had this problem and it's component related. Either way, tomorrow I plan on removing everything and perfoming an inspection. Thanks.

I agree with your co-worker, you also may have leaks in you intake system allowing unmetered air in.

Would unmetered air really cause it to die after 10 miles and not restart? I had the hose from the brake booster come off and all it did was idle high......
