I am starting to think I have an intermittent fuel pump, but from previous forum posts that does not seem to be a part that breaks down easily....
Henry, I agree with Bill, and the other guys before. The MAF.

It is possibly caused by a "dry socket" in the wiring in the square upper part of the maf body. The best cure is to buy one off eBay and stick it in. The problems will all go away.

The A/F gauge going all over the place is a giveaway.
