Just thinking out loud again...now that I think about it, I saw the BAS/ESP light come on twice in the midst of of me disconnecting the battery multiple times. I remembered reading how to reset it, so I didn't think anything of it.

Also, back in April when I had my Eurocharged tune done, I had to hook up a battery charger to complete the process.

So, I know my battery isn't at 100% condition. I can't imagine that would cause a problem, but who knows?
I know you say the seal in the MAF elbow is fine but the way the instructions say to remove the MAF from the elbow is not gentle. The clips at the top should be unlatched and not sprung open, not a problem here but that could break them. Rotating the MAF rearward as described is possibly a problem as the edge of the MAF is pushed into the seal and could cut it. I pointed this out when the PDF was done but it was not followed up on. I managed to push the steel clip away from the MAF and pulled the MAF straight up out of the elbow.

Leakage of air after the MAF sensor will cause problems.
