Another member PMd me about this so I figured I would update this thread in case anyone else runs into this problem.
The dis-assembly and reassembly of the airbox and cleaning of the maf fixed the issue for me. I did notice that the airbox was unhinged from the bottom when I disassembled it...this may have been the root cause.
I am still on the synthetic oil and the problem has not come back at all (but I have only driven about 2K miles) in 4 months.

It is not a recipe for quality work, and never has been.

Losing faith in what? Auto maintenance is done by "book" rate. There is a manual which prescribes the amount of time just about any repair will take. The technician's job is to get the work done faster than the book allows because he gets paid based on the book hours, not the actual hours. It's a lot like ICD coding. You get paid based on a standard activity, not on actual time.

That is exactly why I typically service/repair/modify any of my own vehicles.
