I agree, you would probably do well with a full seafoam treatment and then full tuneup.

Also, keep in mind, I don't think series 1 knows how to throw a misfire code.

Ok, here is my update,

I replaced plugs and wires, 02 sensor and air filter. Still have that stumbling/cutting out feeling.

Happen off and on in the 50-60MPH and sometimes as low as 40 and high as 65. Typically on a slow acceleration or uphill.

The stumbling at idle and take off (feels like the above) has stopped since I cleaned out the MAP sensor.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is the check engine light lit and/or flashing?

Use the procedure found on this link to see if there are any trouble codes stored:

Thanks forgot to mention that there are no codes, no flashing CEL.

Also, it was mentioned that when I unplug the MAF with the engine running it should fall to a default setting. It stalled.

Check the ignition coils as explained in this link:

https://www.gmforum.com/trouble-shoo...-wires-278818/

When is the last time you changed the fuel filter? If it has been a while, change it. If still no improvement you should get a gage and check fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

If coils and fuel pressure check out, you may have misfiring injectors. Run a top end cleaner into the intake like SeaFoam and see if things clear up.
