you're better off getting the ecu scan for code to know which code is throwing the error, than try to fix it blindly

As previously said, u need to find what code is being thrown e.g. "Low Input-Mass Air Flow" or "No Input-MAF"
Disconnecting the battery re-sets the codes so keep trying different things to diagnose. However getting a read-out of the code is obviously way easier. I would guess:
-dud sensor
-dodgy connection
-incorrect replacement sensor
The MAF sensor is very touchy, I ran into huge problems with mine because I replaced the pipe the MAF is mounted in with one that was 4mm smaller in diameter (65 to 61mm). Totally screwed up my supercharger build lol
