- No change after new crank sensor.

- Fuel pressure was fine.

- After the fluid in the ETM was cleaned out, it never died again, but it did surge.


You know what, I'm 99.99999% recurring that the MAF is my problem too. Since unplugging it I've had zero issues too. The reason I've not yet replaced it is the price. I want a genuine one but don't want to deal with the outlay - it's not that I can't afford it it, it just seems like a lot of money for a plastic tube with a glorified thermometer in it.
- Cleaning the harness and installing the updated plug and seal at the transmission end had no effect

- Cleaning the four speed sensors had an unknown effect. No surging, but the amount of driving was very limited.

- After installing the new MAF, no stalling/surging problems have occurred. Power, smoothness and gas mileage seem better.
