Check all tight could be an air leak.

What model year is your car and who mapped it? If you haven't done so already it'd be worth having a word with the mapper and asking if there were any issues with the mass airflow sensor output during the session.

Was this fitted while the car was being mapped, or have you added it on since? If the latter it'd certainly be worth refitting the standard one to see if it makes any difference.

How is the idle stability generally, btw? Once it settles down does it stick at roughly the same engine speed or does it hunt up and down?

If the CTS is faulty, you'll see a suspect reading on the commander.

TPS should read approx 0.5V on a closed throttle and 4.3V when fully opened - Theses can be checked on the Hand Commander under the ETC-> Sensor/Switches screen.

Possibly a MAF or ISCV fault.

What Airflow reading do you get with the Ignition on, engine not running?
What airflow at warm idle

Also worth asking whoever mapped the car, what the Fuel Cut (F/C1) and Target Idle Speeds are set to.

No fault codes on a PowerFC - just need to look at sensor voltages, and 'out of expected range' faults
