They had an issue with hot return gasses from the pcv system melting the plastic intake manifold. That would allow water into the oil and oil into the water and also could allow vacuum leak that would show up as odb codes for map and/or maf sensors. Do you have oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil? If not good....but vacuum leak might still throw codes for map and maf. Have somebody check your car for vacuum leaks...or goodle it and do it yourself.
