Jeff, I wish that were true, but go check my MAF threads. What I had was no problem on an intial cold start and drive. On a hot restart - after letting the car sit for a while - I would get a no start condition. Engine would crank, start, stumble, stop. All in about 1-3 seconds. Pulling the MAF would allow the car to start and drive off without any noticble perormance issue. Replacing the MAF resolved the problem.

I originally though the issue was a crank position sensor, so I have one in the bag now. JD suggested I pull the MAF as a trial test. Good thing to or I'd still be stumbling aroung repalcing parts looking for a solution. As an FYI this was with a P0102 error though.
