Same issues with two different MAF. The old MAF I think was damaged from oil leaking past the AOS which was replaced last year.

I think what happened to my DME is it got damaged by water from the leaking coolant overflow tank. The inside of my trunk was like a sauna when summer hit.

Condensation on the trunk lid and I think the humidity in there probably damaged the MAF. It was like locking the MAF in a steam box. And coincidentally the problems all started when it got really hot here last summer with temperatures in the 90s. But the car never overheated or anything.

Anyway this is all just conjecture on my part it's in the hands of my shop now they have the right diagnostic systems and experience I think they can fix it.
