As in your idle is bouncing? Clean your throttle body.

If it isn't idle bouncing and cleaning your throttle body does not work, back to the dealer I'd say. Sounds like you still have a warranty.

That apparantly can throw the MAF out of whack a bit from what I've read. Do you still have your stock intake? If you do I'd try putting it on and seeing what happens, it doesn't cost you anything and would rule out the intake.

****, that one blew right by me. Have you recently cleaned your filter? I know the oil from K&N and other oiled filters can blow through and dirty up the MAF. That's a great place to start.

Little update: yesterday i took my light off and the light bracket giving me acces to everything and indeed my filter has accumulated an amount of ice and my MAF i cleaned it and wow like a brand new car!

the problem was that the ice accumulates in the fender wells and when you turn your wheel it unclips the wheel wells and leaves your filter vulnerable to everything on the road.
