I got the same symptoms described in this tread immediately following an oil change about a month or so ago ... had a local "backyard mechanic" take a look (lead him on about seeing a cat recall as that was what I had first found when searching the trusted net ...), he seemed to agree that was "probably" the issue and sent me on my way. What have you all found to be your cure?

Hello, im having the same issues, so my question is was the MAP sensor & Exhaust Flange Fix the entire problem and all the cleaning, testing, and repairs?
