Well, the new MAF fixed part of the problem. If you need a new one, I ordered mine from Full Throttle Speed. They have them for $109. After I installed mine, the car was running fine. Then I noticed every time I hit a bump the car would lose power. I pulled into my driveway, popped the hood with the car idling. When I went to go put my hand on the MAF pigtail to make sure it was seated all the way, the car stalled. I also had to buy a new MAF pigtail from EFI Connection. Once I go that, I had to cut the pigtail off my car and about 4 inches of wire (the one from EFI has about 12), solder in and heat shrink the new harness and connector. Now all is well. From what I hear, the MAF pigtail goes bad on these cars, its not uncommon. Check that first, the pigtail is only 11 bucks.
