If you don't already have it, ISTA+ might be in order, especially if you expect to be DIYing in the future.
You might also try the Valvetronic learn/run in procedure (also ISTA) and see if it completes OK.

i have ista + and live data said the valvetronic was active and when i unplugged the maf sensor it threw a code with something about B+ cable or something and the car would just crank
