Alex change your oil. See if there is anything floating in it and report back. If there is some **** in there then its internal .... if there isnt its most likly something that fell off or came lose.

Yup, in the throttle body. There's a hole in the throttle body that allows the entrance of idle air. The ECU controls the stepper motor running a pintal in or out of the hole to control the air flow and hence the idle speed. So, obviously, if this isn't working you will have idle problems.

Also, any air leak into the air circuit past the MAS will cause this problem. An air leak means there is more air actually getting to the engine than what the MAS is measuring. This causes the mixture to be lean.

VegasBoy, check your piping for leaks (a leak check, not a visual inspection), and then find someone with a MAF you can swap on real quick.
