When you get all three like that it could very well be your maf sensor. I had a similiar problem with one of my o2 exhaust sensors. Do you have access to a OBDII scanner so you can see what codes your throwing...

The first thing i would do is go back to my old configuration and see if the lights turn off. Why did you disconnect the maf sensor? Did you have to remove the intake? Did you disconnect the battery before you started the job?

I'd always get my codes read before resetting the ecu. It could be just a fuse that blew

When you removed the intake, did you also disconnect a hose? Look at your intake area and make sure everything is plugged in
