Hallo Sean.

I'm afraid your problem sounds somewhat different to me... In my case the engine always ran & idled OK after being difficult to start (when warm). Because once running, the fuel pump could keep up with what got lost at the regulator. But who knows..., perhaps it is the same problem (just worse)?

Could be the MAF sensor or dirty throttle body. Also take note of my points 2, 3 & 4 in my original post. But, I would say let them 1st perform the "throttle/idle learning" routine - they do that quite easily by plugging in a computer device named "Consult-II". I belief this diagnostic tool may also show out a faulty sensor. Another easy thing to do is to check what the spark plugs are revealing.

So, at speed the engine pulls normal? and your fuel consumption appears to be normal?

Good luck and please let us know about the outcome.

Regards
