Occassionally No Power in 1st or 2nd - 2003 Linear

I have a 2003 9-3 manual linear. Recently I came off the highway to a stop sign. When I started again I found I had very little power and no turbo through 1st and 2nd gears...when I got to 3rd things are fine. This would continue after each stop unless I turned off the ignition and restarted the car. After a restart (or on the first start) the car will work fine until some point in the drive it will go back to the earlier described no power issue. The problem seems to happen more frequently when it is cold outside. CEL light came on when this first happened.
Coincidentally around the same time (within a couple of days prior to the above described problem) my fuel guage went wonky. When the tank is full it shows empty until I get down to around 3/4's and then it seems to work from there on.
I took it to the dealer and they ran the CEL code that said that there was a problem with the MAF which I ultimately had them replace. About a day later the problem was back and CEL back on. I did also check the SAI Valve as I've heard that can be a common issue with the 2003 model and it looks fine. I'm planning on bringing it back in but wondered if anyone has any ideas before I do?
