Nope. Have you cleaned out the MAF sensor? Along with the CPS I'd look at that to see if it's causing any problems. What do your STFT and LTFT look like? Set up the Aeroforces to scan them and see what they're reading and let us know.

Later

I thought I saw some one post a how to, and there was a kit with the cleaner. I'm thinking that spray stuff for cleaning brake parts would do the deed.
