Car dies when MAF is unplugged

I thought the ECU was supposed to assume values using the TPS to keep the car running in case the MAF were to be unplugged or fail completely? my car just sputters and dies almost instantly when the MAF is unplugged.

After my major i accidentily swapped the TPS with the knock sensor plug. i wonder if this is related. i am also having a crazy long term fuel trim issue in this thread, which may be related:

ideas?

 

thanks. im assuming the reason the engine is stalling is due to the problem im having with the long term fuel trims in bank 1. i was curious if these issues were related in any way.
my car was surging at idle with those two swapped. afterwards it idled perfect. dont know if i had the LTFT issue while they were swapped though.

 

i did get it to run last night with the MAF unplugged. i was also monitoring my STFT's while it was unplugged. both o2's were reading positive STFT's (in the 20's at times) most of the time, indicating the ecu is compensating for a lean condition with the MAF unplugged.
I should have logged the data, but i didnt.
im surprised i was see such high STFT's so i ended up cleaning the MAF really well and ill try it all again tonight to see what happens. My o2 sensors are functioning properly, one of them is new, the other im just going to replace for the heck of it. and they are plugged into the correct upstream/downstream positions.
