i would think your car will still start but it probably will just die as soon as it starts, or it will just run real rough.

A bad EGR valve can cause it to stall on you too. As if the EGR valve is open at idle. But follow the MAF problem since you have a code, unless you know something we don't. Check your volts at the MAF connector. It's not 100% that the MAF could be shot. It could be the wiring. MAF's are too expensive to find out your's might be okay in the first place.
