I have the same issue, except mine will rev to ~700rpm slowly hang for a millisecond, then to "fully" start to 1200rpm and settle back at idle, will also drive fine afterward. So in for answers!

What do you exactly mean by "falls flat on its face"? Does it mean it actually starts but stalls right after?

This might help:

Basically, it looks like a bad MAF. It would help if you could tell us the reason you think your MAF is good.

What is your fuel level like? Is it past half full? I had a stalling problem recently and it was my fuel pump. My Max has 175KM when it failed.
