    VERY good chance that could be a factor. But based on he pulled the MAF and it worked better on default tables means there could be something wicky about the MAP, PCV, and/or EGR?

    A plugged cat would make a chugging like that, but what both Steel286 and I both noticed is that an engine restart "fixes it". - Seriously - car acting all jittery and wierd at all RPM's - kick it into neutral while still cruising, restart engine, kick back to drive, and the problem is gone. I don't see that being cat in my case. Also, at least 90% of the time I drive it, it runs perfect. Gotta be a messed up sensor.

    Oh yeah, new plugs, wires and throttle body cleaned. Didn't try coils, but I can't see it given the rolling restart "fixes" it. Cleaned all grounds. No SES light and no codes present.
