Here I am trying to be smart and helpful and I put my foot in my mouth. Never mind.

Kimberley, I'm guessing that by removing the air filter you jogged the MAF a bit.

The thin filament inside it can short out.

I hope it was the wood chip, but if the problem comes back, you'll know right where to look.

Hey, I was just impressed I fixed it in front of a crowd of 50 people having lunch

I'm with you thinking it still might have something to do with the MAF, but until it starts acting up more often and becomes nonfixable by me, I'll keep doing the air filter shake

I kept the woodchip though. I was just too impressed that a small woodchip could stop a high performance vehicle

I'm glad you get it up and running again! Did you go to the Parade last month?
Maybe I saw you there. Anyways, enjoy!!!
