Can you post a pic of your engine bay?

1. once you check for Lose MAF and Sensor.
2. Check all your vacuum hosed one may have popped off somewhere and you might want to check your throttle position sensor

You just need to take it off the car and clean it. I used break clean. Spray some break clean on a rag and rub it clean. I also used Q-tips.

That hose needs to be replaced as well.
