Is there anything that plugs into the OBD II port that can be purchased off Amazon or something?

No offense intended. I used to dive into this with anyone until I learned to gauge experience in the context clues. This takes years of experience. Use Google to search this forum, and keep a humble frame of mind.

It might be as simple as an intermittent connection to your MAF but without the diagnostic tools, and especially the knowledge to use them, it's just poke-and-hope.

See the link to service manuals in my sig line.

I’d very much like to go the scanning tool route. I have an android tablet, but it’s dated. I don’t have a laptop as I have a pc. That leaves me with an iPhone.
Are there any scanners you’d recommend?

For what it’s worth; car was detailed yesterday. Part of the process was bombing it with the AC on recirculate while it idled for ~35 minutes. It did not stall. I stood next to it while this was being done. I could hear the rpms dip, but as the compressor kicked on the idle would raise up, I think keeping it from stalling. I’ve read this is common on these cars. I drove it home with the AC on and even though I didn’t idle for any longer than a couple mins at stop lights, it didn’t stall. I did notice the same thing with an idle dip but either the cooling fans or the compressor kicking back on brought the rpm’s back up.

Edit: By the way, that crack in the pipe is just on the inlet to the sound generator tubing leading to the firewall. It won't make a difference at all to the operation of the fuel system since it's before both the air filter and MAF sensor.

Well, now I have to correct that for the record. It's the last helmholtz resonator upstream of the filter element. Still not a big deal.

Do not throw parts at it. Read the manuals. Learn to diagnose properly.
