Compression was low on all 4 cylinders and extremely low on 2 of them.

I'm not sure how the problems relate to be honest. I was under the impression that usually with a faulty MAF the car runs too lean but apparently mine was running like 8x too rich. I'm just glad the car is running again and the mechanic only charged me for the MAF.
