Since replacing the MAF with a NEW (not refurb) over a month ago, I have not had any additional problems.
Welcome to the MAF sensor club. On my GTP, I took mine a step further and removed the stock MAF sensor frm the throttle body and sealed the opening up. I installed a ZZP Stage 1 72mm throttle body and installed the MAF sensor at the intake ducting before the throttle body Chevy LS1 style. My aftermarket calibrated MAF sensor has a cold air intake tuneable adjustment to compensate for weather changes throughout the year and works great with my Thrasher CAI.
