My mass airflow sensor showed up in the mail yesterday. I pulled off the throttlebody because it was -filthy- inside. I cleaned it out completely. I pulled the battery cable to reset the computer and check engine light. Lo and behold, the car is running fine again. (not any better than previous to this incident, but like it should.)

So at the moment I believe this problem is solved.

A testament to how well the computer will adapt to its situation when things are less than ideal (dirty throttlebody, bad spark plugs, gap, wires, etc... and failing MAF sensor.)

Time to motor on.
