When you "jump started" the car where were the + and - connections connected?

Pcars are finicky about WHERE you place the jumper cables. Improperly connecting those could be an issue. Notwithstanding that, clean the TB and intake system first. Before you touch the MAF - disconnect the battery (using the negative post). Leave 'unbatteried' for at least 30 minutes - it should take a lot longer to clean the intake system.

Otherwise, my money would be on an AOS. You will be able to see how much 'blowby' is there once you remove the intake. Please consult our DIY here to make sure you do it correctly. This is one of the first things I did to my car and it was disgusting! Make sure you have plenty of paper towels standing by.

Good Luck!
