You may have a hose or ducting air leak. Check all is assembled tightly.

Some people spray aerostart around joints to see whether there is a air leak. The engine revs will change with the change in fuel air ratio.

Possible causes
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of “oiled” air filters can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry. There could be a vacuum leak. There could be a fuel pressure or delivery problem

Check the fuel pressure. Leaky vacuum hoses usually make the system lean. For rich look to pressure on the rail, leaky injectors, or bad plugs.
