Will a faulty MAF sensor cause my car not to start.
What is your question?
I was driving the car like normal I parked it came back a little while later to go start the car up and all it does is crank and not start sometimes cranks and does a whirring sound like it's not getting enough juice it gives me a bunch of other a code to check along with starting the car basically white won't start from crankshaft position sensors to fuel pressure sensors possible MAF sensor. I'm wondering if cleaning the MAF sensor didn't matter and maybe it needs to be changed I don't know much about any of this so I'm asking you also it said something about

Nothing makes it better. I replace. Part after part and nothing seems to change for better or worse

Hi this is Dusty, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team.
In my experience It's rare that a MAF sensor would cause a no-start condition, it's more likely the vehicle would just run poorly.
You mention multiple other faults that are being stored, and that you've replaced multiple parts with no change in the vehicle's behavior.
With no real improvement being made, I'd stop replacing parts without a firsthand diagnosis.
This could be an issue of treating the symptom and not the cause, which can result in parts being replaced when they may not actually need to be.
There's a lot of variables to sift through and an experienced pro with access to specialized diagnostic tools will be able to sort this out for you.
