    Check the rubber boot connecting the airfilter to the intake for leaks. I had a similar issue and found a slit in the rubber boot. Replaced this boot and problem went away.

    Remove rubber intake boot,
    squeeze and carefully inspect all areas,
    the cracks that were once hidden will appear.
