What is half way for you? Give us numbers!

Have you ever considered that it could be a temperature sensor somewhere? like the IAT? (intake Ait Temperature)

Also, Are your radiator fans working? On highway the airflow is probably high enought that the fan are not mandatory to cool the radiator enought.

-is it 3.1 or 2.4l?
give us pcm codes in Pxxxx format.
-what happens when engine dies, does it restart or it takes a while?

maf sensor will not make your engine die, you can try this by disconnecting the maf. Pcm will take over and will use basic maps which will not be very accurate but you will still be able to drive.
