Check the intake pipe downstream of the AFM for air leaks and also check for vacuum leaks.

Its most likely a vacuum leak, recommend changing all rubber hoses if it has not been done yet

mines act the same way as well, but when warm up its fine. just the cold start ups that the car keeps on dying with my foot on the pedal. oh yea my idle is at 1200. let me know if you get this issues figure out.
