Were you ever able to scan while the car was running to verify the MAF sensor was working correctly? I know it's late, but I still want to know what caused this problem. It didn't sound like a serious issue.

Had the same problem on a car I was working on awhile back. I believe that it was a monte carlo and it was suffering the same problems you listed. I ended up changing the plugs and all be dipped in shit it took care of the problem. Did you ever end up replacing the plugs before you tore it down?

So are you keeping or selling parts of the engine or car? Seems there might not be anything wrong with either?

I read all 15 pages hoping for a happy ending. frown Maybe you should just get the engine rebuilt or buy a new one. 180k is about time for that anyway.
