Hello,
Is your check engine light on? If so what are the codes?
This could point us to the right direction:
I have attached EGR and MAF replacement procedures for your reference.
Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

This could be a dirty throttle body from coking or carbon build-up on the throttle plate. I attached a guide below in cleaning the throttle body for you.
