Possible causes
Air intake hose loose, Fuel line pressure low , Fuel injector leak or blockage, Heated oxygen sensor malfunction, Mass Airflow Meter (MAF), Engine coolant temperature sensor.

The most common cause is the MAF
Clean the MAF sensor; it's located right behind the air filter housing. Use an electrical/electronic spray cleaner. Clean the inside and outside sensors on the unit. The sensor will have to be removed from the housing/intake plenum.
