Came back from vacation and now this...
Methinks Maxi is on her last legs, its been a good 163k miles...

Came home from 3-week vacation today, car checked out perfectly fine before i left, but as soon as I got home she starts acting up...

More specifically, starting has become increasingly difficult and she has stalled a couple of times at stoplights (MAF?) I'll check it out when i've got some time this weekend, but before then any thoughts?
