3 things to try.

1) unplug the MAF and go for a drive - you will get a fault message pop up but it will go when you plug it back in.
2) Tighten the throttle cable by pulling the spring clip off, take up the slack - not too much - and replace the clip.
3) Maybe the throttle itself - look up TPS cleaning on the forum.

Hope this helps...
