Default new injectors wrong MAF

Hello everyone I am new to this site. This weekened I made a BIG mistake. I put a explorer intake, upper/lower and 30lb injectors on my 5.0 LX this weekened and hoped to install a powerdyne next weekend. I forgot to put the new MAF in and left the old cobra calibrated for 19lb injectors in. I drove it around the block to check for leaks and it ran like crap and died on me. I finally got it back home and now it will not start. The plugs are fouled up and it turns over slow. What should I do to get it running again? Do you think I hurt the engine bad? Any help I would appreciate.

Thanks

you should be fine you were probably just running crazy rich and flooded it. I would just get the correct MAF and a new set of plugs and you should be fine

Thanks for the help. I do have the correct MAF I am just a dumb#@%and went to fast putting everything back together I forgot to swap them out. When I got it back home I did end up switching the MAF out and it still did not start (without changing the nasty plugs). It also threw a code #56 MAF is above voltage. I guess I will change the plugs and oil and try to start it again.
