A couple questions (possible MAF issue)

Hey friends, instinct came with the near 70 degree weather we’re having in Nebraska this week, naturally i want to drive my Boxster

Well ive had her stored in the garage for the past month due to snow and ice, and only drove her once in the past month. Didn’t have any issues then, just connected my battery as normal (i store it in a warm place as i have for the past few year without any issues) and it started right up and i had a nice 70+ mile drive to and from my destination.

Well today, did the same, but immediately the car died. Never dealt with that before, and naturally i started searching online for remedies, which included:
-Swapping back up relay and fuel pump (no change)
-Swapping out a few other of the smaller fuses (none were broken, just the what if)
-Disconnected MAF and tried starting (didn’t start at all)
-Reconnected MAF after wiping it down (there was a residue on it, probably oil) mind it still looks brand new on the inside, the actual unit
-Waited a while because i was still looking at online solutions, went to start it up and boom shes good to go


I let it run for a good 15 or so minutes before taking a drive which all seemed normal. Brought it all up to temps and came back home and here I am.

The second question regards to a small bog when coming to a stop, I noticed it heavily when the AC is running, and on a warm day it wont go below 800 RPM, but with it off its going a little lower for my liking and a little uncomfortable knowing it could die on me possibly in the middle of the road again.

Any responses would be amazing, i apologize in advance for the long post and rambling.
