Default avenger no start

so i was leaving a restaurant and get into my avenger, it wouldnt start. the engine turned over like it always does, but didnt start. so i pop the hood and try again, it started. i thought it was just something random. so i go home. well later that night, it did it again. and now, it just wont start whatsoever. i can hear the fuel pump prime when im about to start it, and im pretty sure i have spark...im thinking maybe its something in the fuel line...i need ideas...help! (especially silvercoupe...)

pulled a code using the keydance...came up 1 flash, pause, 2 flash, pause, 1 flash, pause, 1 flash, pause, 5 flash. i am assuming that means 1211 and the 5 is the code saying "thats it". so i checked and it said 1211 Mass Air Flow Intermittent High. what does that mean? do i need to replace it, is the connector loose, or what?

Good job Jakbob and thanks for the follow up. Sorry I wasn't here to help
You're reading the codes right too...almost looks like you got it in the third post though. The "end code" numbers are 5-5 or 55...no blinking!!! kidding, lol.
