Clean the MAF sensor on the intake with MAF cleaner, check the intake acordian for oil in it clean the throttle body and check ur motor mounts for cracks or deformation

Ok check the pipe then check the filter for oil, sometimes when 2much oil is added it can over flow into the intake

Well on the throttle body clean both sides it's gonna take some scrubbing but it comes off I used the MAF cleaner on that aswell when u finish it should be pretty shiny again then u might wanna do a decarb or seafoam which ever u prefer I did the decarb with a can of Mazda zoom zoom engine cleaner and used a DIY on this site it was easy and pretty funny when people was stoping in the street staring at my car thinking it was gonna explode lol! Once that's done u should b ok if that was the problem!!
