soldering them would probably be better than crimping them.

edit: do you mean wires that connect to the MAF, or wires inside the MAF?

Took scissors, put them on the wire, and applied pressure.

Yeah, why?

Soldering would do the trick. Make sure to do it good and use shrink tube. Do not use crimps and make sure to re-solder the correct pairs.
