Before I get started her, this is a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire, Automatic, with 63500/km on it. (about 39.4k miles)


So I've been having a few different problems as of late, actually on going for a few months now. (it's a story of what's been going on, I'll try to summarize at the end)


In October of last year my dash/headlights/taillights all started to flicker (at the same time in unison) so I figured there might be a battery/alternator/grounding problem. Took it to mechanic, all the wires were tight, battery and alternator running good. For the next month or 2 nothing happened.


Then it starts again around January. Only as time progresses it starts to semi-stall at lights and stops and such, so I'd hit a red light, stop, radio would shut off and come back on.. then the engine would cut, but not long enough to completely stall.


Bring it back to Mechanic, they can't get symptoms to repeat, car runs fine for another 2 weeks or so, starts again. This time (we are around April now) car begins to full stall at lights, however, no issues turning it back on, and the stall doesn't kill all the power, just the engine. There is one sign this might happen, and that's the light flickering thing, however while the car is in motion and running over 2k rpm's I don't have the flickering. Additionally after the semi-stall the car has a really hard time leaving first gear, (RPM's up over 5k before it decides to switch to second)


During the light flickering, there are huge power losses experienced to other parts of the car, power windows and windshield wipers all run extremely sluggish and cause huge draws on the power to the car (lights dim but still flicker and car has actually turned off while putting a window up once)


So I read something about the mass air flow sensor and it seems to be able to cause a good portion of the problems I've been experiencing, and so I've started to drive the car in "W" mode as opposed to "S" mode, which has stopped the car from full stalling, however I notice the flickering and such still. Even if I cant see the lights flickering (during the day for example) I know when it's been happening because when I turn the car off the radio will cut immediately as opposed to running that extra second or 2 then fading out like Crossfires seem to do.


So I guess my real question is, has anyone experienced these similar issues all at the same time? If so was it the MAF or was it related to something else. Should I be cleaning the MAF first and then checking to see if these issues repeat, if so, what was the cause in your case?


Summary:
Lights and Dash flicker
Car Semi-Stalls or full stalls
Power draws during light flickering on other power options like windows and windshield wipers.
(something I didn't mention above) after stopping if I go from "W" to "S" the car drops gear and stalls.


I also have the engine light with the p0410, however it looks like that one is fairly common and I've downloaded the PDF on that already.
