Try disconnecting the MAF first and see if that evens it out. Has the fuel filter been changed lately?

got the car checked out with a full diagnostic took about 30 mins , only showed breathing probs, he suggested egr cleaner
So I've put some in , which also cleans the lines/ injectors
Can't remember last time it had any cleaner in
next step blank off the egr valve ! going to order a blanking plate today
