Here are the MAF, AFR, and rpm data vs time for cold start and engine full warm. For the cold start condition, the afr starts swinging up and down when the ECU goes into closed loop mode. For temperatures below probably 40F, the swings can become great enough that the engine will stall. If I compare the position of the spikes in MAF voltage, rpm, and AFR, it appears that the spike in the MAF voltage just slightly precedes the spike in the AFR data. That would suggest to me that the AFR is affected by the MAF signal. It would seem more logical to me though that the afr fluctuations are preceding the MAF and rpm spikes. I would have guessed that the ECU is trying to lean out the afr, and the lean condition is killing power which causes the rpm to drop and the MAF voltage to drop. Anyhow, as best as I can tell, the car doesn't stall during warmup if the air temp is above about 40F.
