If the throttlebody has never been cleaned, I'm sure there is some carbon build up in it. The MAF probably has some dirt on it too. Read about both before cleaning if you have never done it before.

There is a really nice search feature here on this board located mid right on the tool bar. Those topics I'm sure have been discussed at length many times.
