I had one fail LOW once and the car was hard to start, would catch, then die after 10-15mins and wouldnt restart again for at least an hour, usually 2. It seems that when they fail LOW, the ECU thinks its -40F and when the engine starts to warm, it goes rich and dies. Nobody, even a dealer, could figure it out. Its worth a shot to check it out. Air Temp sensors and the MAF would be other places to look, as would the CAM and Crank sensors.
Yeah you might be right i had to change the MAF on my B5 when i added a K&N air filter. i guess i am going to start checking pricing on that and i guess the brown looking one that is towards the back.

Did you put a K&N on this car too? I hate those things.. always screwing up MAF's.
