Wayne, you are right about it - the MAF sensor was faulty.
it happened to my car (max 95) about 6 months ago...sorry just find this website today. I was not sure how many times my car was stalled and died when I stopped at traffic lights. Finally I found out MAF sensor did not work correctly, and I fixed my MAF sensor by re-soldered connections between the sensor circuit board and the prongs/pins of the connector, and it saved me $400.
Here is what I did to fix my MAF sensor. Inside the MAF sensor , the other ends of Prongs/pins of the MAF sensor connector were connected and soldered to the MAF sensor circuit board. The cold solders were there...if you worked on electronic stuff you know what I mean. When there is a cold solder on a circuit board, it will prevent a flow of electronic signal and it causes intermittent problems.
To access inside MAF sensor, remove the top cover...it was shield by silicon...from there the sensor circuit can be seen.
REMEMBER WHEN TO WORK ON ELECTRONIC STUFF AND NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ESD (ELECTRONIC STATIC DISCHARGE)...MAKE SURE TO GROUND YOURSELF BEFORE TOUCHING ANY ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD. The best way to do is to touch to car body (metal - or ground signal) to discharge any static charge before holding the board, and better to hold on the edges of the board.
