Well I brought the 986 into Bauer's in Oakland, and we looked it over for a couple hours. They ran the voltage, and it seems unlikely to be the alternator. The fuel readouts are all good, so unlikely to be the fuel pump. There's no single cylinder not getting spark. Conclusion? Best case, MAF. Worst case? They're thinking the flywheel possibly is misaligned. Said they've seen it before.

Tomorrow we find out if it's the MAF; they have an extra one for testing purposes.
