Apparently one of the fuses have a problem staying in, and they arch and short out, sometimes causing a fire. A few members on here were having the same problem, the the fix did fix the problem. Unfortunantely, this member was unaware of the problem (not to scare you in anyway). -

Check your alternator. It might be on it'* "last charge".

I don't believe it exploded...IIRC....

I have a close and personal relationship with a bad MAF sensor. Symptoms included a stuttering (too little gas) AND a surging (too much gas) of the engine at all rpms (from idle to full throttle) ...and if it stuttered when at an idle, it would stall. The Service Engine Light was intermittant..and I did have the P0102 code - MAF senser circuit low frequency. But if all you have is a stalling out issue, it does not seem likely to be the MAF.

My 2000 ssei was stalling for a bout 2 days, the MAF sensor was replaced, and it runs like new now.
