Really check that ALL the tiny flexible pipes around the MAF unit are properly connected.

Well done.
If that was the original gas spring it has done well.

Re: Cutting a hole to access the fuel pump

Dropping the tank lets you do all the other things too.
Turn that bolt round , through the lateral arms in the centre of the car. So that head is at front , nut at rear.
De-rust /protect brake pipes.

For a start, all three springs are different.

Re: 03/1997 Probe 2.5 V6 - Crank No Start/Spark

A working system creates a very high voltage , which discharges itself to 'earth' at the point of least resistance. The gap on your spark plug. If a lead is left disconnected , that voltage has to deplete somewhere else , if that route takes it back into the low voltage transistors.....................

Re: 03/1997 Probe 2.5 V6 - Crank No Start/Spark

I may be wrong here but I think you need a working key fob , even with a by-passed
immobiliser.
And NEVER , NEVER leave a spark plug lead disconnected.
