Jason, it'* not the IAC, so rule that out now. It'* only busy when the throttle plate is fully closed.

Disconnect the MAF and see if it ever does it again. You'll be in default mode, but it may be hard to rule out with such an inconsistent problem.

Sorry, I missed the loss of electrical power above. A lack of GO power could very well be the MAF sensor with the throttle depressed, but if you also lost electrical power, I'd say your battery connections are the #1 suspect.

I gotta quit skimming topics.
