Get another maf and test it.
Also is the sidemount recirculated? Ive heard them to be faulty and cause issues.
I just retimed/adj. fuel pressure and TPS back to orig. recommended numbers. Same issues, but I had my wife try to drive it, and from outside when moving, the SMIC (all stock/recirculated) sounds like carpet dragging on the ground (if that makes sense), like it is struggling. I don't have experience with them, is that normal?

I do not have another maf to test, so I will just buy a new one.
Update. I had a FMIC setup waiting anyway, so I hooked it up. This resulted in zero improvement (except it doesnt sound like a carpet dragging anymore!).
