I would say clean tb first. it doesent cost as much as a maf sensor :D

i was initially thinking tb but then thought well i know mines down to the maf and having the same problems so thought ide mention that.

The 1.4 doesnt have a MAF.  It also came with the cable and electronic throttle body.

They do suffer from dirty throttle bodies though.
