Default Lexus ES300 Running rough on startup then dies

Hello my brothers,

Recently I was driving my 1995 lexus es300 and I felt it running really rough and idling horribly. I pulled over and the car eventually died. I tried starting it and it would run for a few seconds then die again..

I got it towed to my mechanic and he said the code was for MAF sensor.. I replaced it and the car still won't crank. It can't be the timing belt as I had that replaced.

Please guys I need to get to work !!

Clean your Idle Air Control Valve, if your car has one. It's usually located near the throttle body.
