Ok, so you've checked your fuses, fusible links, tap your relays in the fuse box (do you have any on the firewall?), check your distributor cap and make sure you didn't accidentally pop one off.
You're not getting spark, that's what I see from what I'm reading.

I doubt it, if that was the case my car would never start. I take my MAF off a lot.
I would just double check your work area. It has to be something accidentally pulled, pryed, or just knock off. Isn't your distributor cap nearby? Like to the left of the battery? I know your V6 is a 6g72 mine was a 6g73, your setup shouldn't be much different than what I had. Did you touch the battery post with the pipe?

i just called my buddy that was there when i put it on. he is the actual one that took the MAF off.... he told me that when i went inside to take a **** he dropped it twice, he said it didn't hit very hard, but he still dropped it.

how sensitive are those in the case of getting dropped? am i alright, or should i make him buy me one then kill him?

Take the maf out and check the resistor(s) or diode(s) (I forget which they are) and make sure that they are still connected and that they don't have a broken wire on either end.
Reason number one why I don't like other's to touch my car, lol. No one cares more for you car than you do.

I wouldn't kill him, just kick him in the junk after he buys you one, lol.
Oh yeah, they are if they are anything like my stock MAF and GM MAF.

Take the entire section that has the maf out. Is your maf connected to the filter?

What I'm trying to get you to do is to take that part out, look down the honeycombed part (if it is honeycombed) and look at the sensors to make sure that both ends are still connected to them. A 4ft drop can be enough to break the connection on either ends of the sensor. A broken maf will cause issues like what you are encountering or a disconnected one, lol. I've done that before too and my car would die on me and act like I broke something....that is until I remembered that I forgot to reconnect it. Afterwards it was fine again, after about 10 seconds or so.
Anyway, once you look at them, you'll see how fragile they are. Well, they're not all that fragile, but you'll see what I mean. Lightly and I mean lightly press on them to be sure that either leg has not disconnected from either rods/columns. Look at it when you get a chance, you'll see what I'm talking about..unless yours is made differently, either way, it won't be all that different.
