BTW: the sensor plate does not stick. Addressing the restart:
 it won't stumble, but it'll take a few seconds (2-3) to get it to start. No
stumbling.

I remember from my VW days that "Poor Richard's Rabbit Book" used to recommend
cleaning the pivot point and all on the air flow sensor plate with Beryman
Chemtool spray; lots of brown gunk gets trapped on it over time; probably good
maintenance anyways.  But, I'd expect that would cause similar "response"
problems both hot and cold, although it could cause hard cold starting.

Have you checked carefully for vacuum leaks?  What about pulling the dipstick,
or opening the oil filler cap while running?
