Pulled the driver's side inner door panel off today to re-connect the exterior door handle to the rod that actually unlatches the door. Replacement part to hold the rod on there is on order. Greased the inner workings of the power window mechanism, cleaned the contacts on the window switches and put the panel with its speaker back on.

Better than that, I decided to take the MAF out of the air cleaner and look at it compared to the other one I have. They both have prominent numbers printed on them, so it started dawning on me that because the numbers, as well as the style of the component design, were different, that I may have a model-incorrect piece in there. Yep. I looked at photos on Rock Auto's web site for replacement MAF's (ex-pen-sive!) and saw that I had the wrong one in the air can I was using. Switched them and it runs much better. One step closer.
