Default Help!! out of town and car wont act right

I'm far from home and the car isnt running right. Hard to start and sputters pretty bad. I put a new fuel filter on it, no luck. I went and got a obd 2 scanner and the car is throwing a lot of codes. All 4 o2 sensor codes, its throwing a map sensor and maf code. All this stuff couldnt have went out at once. Its just all of a sudden. I can get it to start, but will die shortly after and if you give it any gas at all it dies. I just had a dual walbro setup installed and both pumps are working properly and priming when I turn the key. I have checked every fuse and swapped every relay. I am out of ideas and I dont want to go replacing stuff blindly.

maf code may have been triggered when you unplugged it. I would clear all the codes, and crank it up and see what all it throws as a clean slate.

Was a gas line in the tank that blew up. The car has dual walbros and the main line literally blew up. It had only been in there a week. Looks like the gas was eating it up. I bought the setup from a sponsor here on tech and used the lines they sent with it.
