does ure car idle fine when engine is hot?
is ure maf sensor working fine?

firstly check for vaccum leaks.
secondly clean the icv valve with carb cleaner and wd 40
thirdly clean the maf sensor element with electrical component cleaner
fourthly check if the two temperature sensors are working fine.
lastly check for leaks in the intake pipe.

try these and ure car will run much better.
