    It seems like never ending problems with my piece of a car. On cold starts, my car barely has any throttle response. I have to push it to maybe 25% throttle before I get any power. After the car is warm, it's fine. I don't think there is a tuning related table for this, but I could be wrong. What else would cause this?

    VE Tune should help. I know you had considered it before. But it is definitely tune related.

    Okay. I don't know where to start with the VE tune. Any advice? My car barely runs without the MAF plugged in.

    Might help: Tuning Your VE Table - OpenTuner Notebook
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
