AFM or air flow hoses, check for leaks in the pipes or possibly alternator? put a multimeter on the battery with it started ay, see how much charge you have,

Im still awaiting your response from my reply to this thread. Have you bothered to do this yet?

have u cleaned out the eccs valve they usally get really clogged up with carbon and making the car not breathe proerly, its worth a try. take out the 3x10mm screws,pull it off clean it all out pipes and everything get bit of gasket goo seal it back up and try start it and see what happends.
