Sadly none of those tests are conclusive. You need something like WD40 or better still, ether (aka EazyStart) to spray round the manifold etc with the engine running and also the hose/pipework between the throttle body and the MAF. Also make sure the electrical connector is plugged in properly on the MAF.

As for spraying soapy water on the various air/vacuum hoses, again it won't work. There's no air pressure there, especially on the vacuum hoses so you won't see any bubbles.

What are you calling a draw test? I'm guessing you put a voltmeter across the battery terminals with the engine running? If so, what did it read?
