Unplug the MAF and she how it runs, the PCM will switch to running speed density mode.

Could be just a dirty MAF. Buy some electronic cleaner spray from Radio Shack and spray the sensor wires. Carefully clean them as they are fragile.

First thing that popped into my brain was "IAC." Do a search on how to remove and clean and see if that fixes your problem. Also, try pulling off the MAP sensor and clean it. When I had a similar problem, these two things fixed my problem.
