Wire had a brake in it. The computer showed -40 (according to Ultra gauge) MAF is separate but the temp probe samples the same air and the computer corrects the MAF for intake air temp(this was on a the Ford though most MAF systems are similar). If your scan gauge is showing a close number I would not suspect a problem there.

The smell of fuel is pretty indicative of a very rich mix.
