Probably the AFM gone bad. with the car still running, try to unplug the AFM. If it doesnt shot off immediately your AFM is fooked. The car will probably Idle like crap after an ECU reset also if its your AFM. I had this problem with my Sti and yes you do lose ALOT of performance with a fooked AFM.

Its the air flow sensor, which is located after the airbox. What year is your car?

Its the sensor between your air box and the engine
AFM= air flow meter MAF= mass air flow sensor, same thing. Cheers
