Got a CEL and no boost a few weeks ago, so I pulled the codes and cleared 'em. Ran fine for a couple of weeks when it happened again. Here are the codes:
=============================================
Control Module Part Number: 4B0 906 018 CH
Component and/or Version: 1.8L R4/5VT G 0001
Software Coding: 16701
Work Shop Code: WSC 63351
6 Faults Found:
18057 - Powertrain Data Bus: Missing Message from ABS Controller P1649 - 35-00 - -
16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P0300 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16688 - Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected P0304 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
16686 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected P0302 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
17536 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Mult): System too Lean P1128 - 35-00 - -
16804 - Catalyst System: Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold P0420 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
==============================================
So I STFA and logged blocks 118 and 204 and 002. MAF readings not so great, so I cleaned it and logged 'em again. No improvement. BTW this is a 2nd gear pull, and I know the advice is to do a 3rd gear pull, but it's tough for me to do that safely here.
What to do now? Here's the latest log:

cat bank 1 could be the front O2 sensor.
and leaning out could be the L hose or the suction pump thingy next to it.
could be MAF causing issues.
sorry, I'm terrible at reading codes and diagnosis. I just look around for the broken stuff.
search those code numbers in this forum only and see what others have found.

I can't understand why it is infrequent intermittent. And seems to have no relationship to how hard I am driving. First time was a day after an HPDE, but the second was just driving around town.

New MAF cured it, and the car pulls stronger too! I did try cleaning the MAF (several times), but that didn't help. My indy mech tells me that cleaning often doesn't work.
