If you went to the gathering with the bad weather then the maf could have got damaged by the rain!

Friends Scooby has the same problem, but he has got a scoop above the induction kit so alot of water would have got in there!

could be a million things, got any check engine lights come up?

Also worth running an ecu check, there is a guide somewhere on here that tells you how to do it!

Of course if sitting in all the traffic from the gathering could have been choked up a bit also. nice blast could have sorted it.
