pls hear met out i need my car fix before wednesday for important business.

heres what happened: today my car is doing goood. no problem or issues. me and my girl just cruising around the town with no probs. got home. got some rest then i tried to changed my intake. i have the bigger k&n air filter with adaptor. i hadnt use the intake for at least 1 month, when i was trying to make it fit it wont fit on its adaptor. i tried to shove it in with force with the maf. but then i gave since its no good the intake shrank and theres no way i can put the filter in. so i decided to swap an filter with a no name filter. i finished it then drove it again to my friend's party. i just notice that my car was lacking power then i parked. on my way back home. i started my car and it dies right after i started it. i had to start it again and press the gas so itll stay running. i dropped it home then i started checking stuff. at 1st i was thinking could be the maf sensor connector was loose coz it felt like i dotn have a maf. then i put everything back to stoock and still doing the same thing. im kinda frustrated coz i need my car this weekened.

questions is

just by trying to shove the maf w/ adaptor can cause a prob? did i damage the maf? any inputs? im totally lost and its 2:03am im still thinking how to fix this prob.
