I have sam problem too,

I had this turned a few months back and it was the maf, first a master tech said it must be an air leak, i took my dv off and all was fine for a few days, then it came back. The only other thing it could be was the maf, changed it, and it was fine.

 

[james-st]

try cleaning the maf first .
