I'm going to give it one more try. Current options:

1. Send ETA to Beckman to diagnose. It's $125 for diagnosis only. I've had 4Mercedes rebuild it and re-test it (sent in twice) and they think it's fine. But, based on my general experience with them, I'm not 100% sure.
2. Take to a local garage that I have not tried.

I'm leaning towards #1, because a)I can rule it out all together if that's not it b)know the issue if it is and c) if I don't do #1 and do #2, I still may not know (or have them spend a couple of hours doing diagnosis that is wasted.
ETA is fine. Beckman checked it and swears it's fine.

Should the MAF glow red (hot) when the key is turned all the way (prior to start)?
