MAF Plug
I have not taken mine apart, and it works properly.
I have removed it a couple times when disassembling my engine, and it makes no noise, and I could not feel anything moving inside of it, which is how it should be.
If yours is making noise, I would think it has broken, and could be the cause of your come and go problem.
Should be a $2 junkyard part, so worth replacing as a process of elimination.
I hate chasing problems that show up and stop randomly.

I'm learning a lot reading about the Engine Management System
I am a bit embarrassed, but it may have been a dirty air filter. It looked pretty clean, but I tapped and quite a bit of fine powder came out. I put in the K&N Air Filter I have that is clean. Short test drive it was idling much better in D.
It is only a year old, but an orange fine powder, and lot of it came out of it I tapped it.
We'll see.

Test Drive complete. I also cleaned my battery terminals and posts after pm'ing with Best. Voltage seemed improved. It is idling much more evenly now, and smoothly. We'll see if it is a long term fix.
I had a similar problem a decade or so ago and just forgot. Now I remember. It was the ground connections. And when I wire brushed both the connectors and the spots where they attached, I had a stronger starter and everything started behaving. It cost me a battery and a rebuilt starter (throw parts at it, I always say. Haha), but it was just a little corrosion.
Glad you fixed it, Collie. You're one of the dependables I look to when I have an issue; you can't have a gimpy rover.
