I am guessing there are no CEL, right? I would suggest getting a can of circuit board cleaner something similar then disconnect and spray the connectors on the wiring harness. By doing so it would it gives you chance to inspect the sensors and harness for anything abnormal and remove anything from the pins. Pay special attention to the MAF sensor. I drove a maxima that the MAF sensor would vibrate enough that it would start choking at 4k. At any rate, you have nothing to loose and it would only help.
