Yeah could have just **** the bed.
Should be able to remove it and clean it.
At least check it out.
Tap on it while running.

Completely possible.
Mass air flow controls amount of air into intake.
Lots of miles on the rig?
Crappy gas now, probably coated in carbon.
Just a hunch, especially if it ran OK yesterday, day before.

280K, yes ran fine yesterday, thanks... ;) :)
Mess around with it a bit
Unplug it,plug it back in, tap on it, etc.
You can clean it after taking it apart but I'm betting it's a gonner.

I like MAF / air issue as well check for cracks/connections between MAF and throttle body also, if you get un-metered air in there will do similar stuff.

I got duct tape on my Honda Pilot intake tube like a boss.
