    UNPLUG BOTH AIR FLOW METERS AND START CAR, SEE IF BUZZING GOES AWAY...JUST DID ONE LAST WEEK, NEEDED AIR FLOW METERS, SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, WORTH A TRY!

    I would try a ground sweep at the ECUs , i would put an extra ground on the SX and DX ECUs as per factory advise.

    There are also grounds under the rear fender liner, clean off and resecure.

    Just a thought.
