Good point. I'm assuming you have an e-throttle, but if you have a mechanical throttle,try cleaning the idle control valve.

I guess I would start with the easy stuff. Clean the throttle body, MAF and then if that doesn't help, try troubleshooting the MAF, but as someone else said, don't just spend $300 for a new MAF unless you are pretty sure thats the problem.
