Sweet Jeezus! Problem solved.
Got me a #20 security torx bit, took the MAF sensor off the aluminum housing and sprayed that sucker with non-residue contact cleaner. It didn't even look dirty.
I had sprayed TB cleaner around inside the housing before and guess some got up onto the little wire sensors, leaving resisdue. I don't see how you can really clean it without removing it.
I have read here that running an oiled air filter is not a good idea on these cars cuz it is so close to the MAF. I believe it. Get rid of that K&N filter, get a nice paper filter and clean your MAF properly.
I put a K&N on my car right after I bought it. Watched as fuel mileage dropped and wondered why. Didn't even run noticeably better with the damn thing on. Can you say "snake oil"?
Anyhow, thanks to all for the help and patience.
