check your mass air flow meter it might just be dirty ,

ok how do i clean the MAF sensor

Go to you local auto parts store. Buy a can of MAF sensor cleaner in a spray can.

Remove the MAF from the intake pipe and spray the SHÏT out of it until it sparkles... There's a little sensor inside so make sure you get that guy too.


Good luck,

Tom
