I don't think a bad MAF would stop the car from starting. You likely have a fuel delivery problem. Can you check your fuel pressure? Do you hear the fuel pump turn on and off when you try to start it?

You need to have the trouble codes read. If I understand "management system light on" then your Check Engine Light (CEL) is on indicating the engine's computer has set a trouble code. Certainly someone has an OBD-II reader there?
