Good morning,

leaning towards the MAF- the worst thing about this issue is the problem is intermittent. Sometimes it runs killer. It was freaking out the moment I started it after letting it sit for a few hours. You can force it to stay running if you keep your foot in it.

When it started acting up again I was forcing the car to stay running, and it got to the point where I worked through the bucking - and that's when the codes came up. I was hoping it would straight up die and stay dead so I can find it that way.

As for the MAF on the car, it came off a crashed 95 and is definitely at that time where it's probably time to quit on me anyhow.

I checked the FPR and no sign of diaphragm leakage, all the lines on the motor and the clamps and all lines appear to be tight and clean.
