It's hard for me to believe it's the MAF. The problem shows itself at idle, not over 4000 RPM.

After that last lucky start I drove it for more than 30 minutes and she was really perfect, just like she had always been in the past years. She seems to lay in some sort of "recovery state" I just have to wake her up from. Ok it can be the plugs but... in five years not a problem. Then I disconnect the battery and the problem shows itself on the first start. Then suddenly, after a dozen times of switch the engine off - fire it on, she is just perfect... but the day after she's strange again. Strange coincidence, huh!?
