Is there any certain condiitions that it usually happens during? check for vacuum leaks, mist starting fluid around the engine while running it'll rev up if you have a leak.

What did you clean the maf with? Sorry but I forgot to mention onlyto clean it with maf cleaner.What all did you do for a tune up? Since you said it died alot in the wash, check your coil packs for cracks. If you have old plug wires or bought the cheapest you could find then I would replace them. Sometimes moisture gets into the ignition system causing it to stumble n stall . You can probably clean your egr valve with carb cleaner you should be able to disassemble it, get new gasket for its mounting point to. If you have any other past/present issues with the car please share it may help.
