x16 doesnt have an air flow meter. It has a map sensor.
Check the usual plugs and leads.

lambda sensor (hope my spellings correct) are the sensors that read the xhaust gas and may have something to do with it, if the engine management light is on get it to a garage so then can read the codes

have you used the 3 holes on the inlet for the vaccum pipes? If you have, you might have to use a plastic t-piece and join the vuccum pipe to one that runs into the inlet. Double check though mate
