More info would be good, but sounds like one of your induction hoses is collapsing.
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.

thanks to all that replied started with the basic fuel and air filter checked the air pipes weren,t colapsing so i started unplugging sences and found the one near the air filter [whatever it does] didn't make a difference, so i pulled it out and sprayed it with some contact cleaner put it back in and it's going good again......thanks again.

It will be the Mass Air Flow Sensor in my opinion, if you have a mate with another like vehicle ask to swap it in and check it out, its on the intake tube just outside the Filter housing, can't remember the price new.


Edit: Fuck a duck you already pulled it. By the way its the MAF they go all the time.
