Interesting. The first thing I would do is disconnect the MAF sensor and see if you are getting the same behavior on your first few miles. If you are getting the exact same behavior then I'd say your O2 sensors are shot and needs replacing.

Just a wild guess.

If any one of those two (possibilities) would be at fault, your DME would have logged it. Plugging your car onto a PIWIS would certainly tell you what's living (or not) in there.

Good old autumn morning condensation??? would this affect the running of the engine?
