Just to "close out" this thread, it was indeed the MAF at fault but it was also coked up a bit with dead bugs! The air filter was changed and all other connections checked and tightened. I must say the difference in performance is amazing -just like the day I bought it.So that's a 10 out of 10 for most of the people here!
