Question is it dying

bought a new maf two weeks ago and the car has drived beautifully since but last night i noticed when i pulled up anywhere the revs started to drop and the car would nearly stall then pick back up bit worried as i spent £255 on the maf why would it do this, is it faulty ect.
ive got an induction kit but the old maf worked with that since i got the car any ideas would be appreciated

If it iss a failed maff take it back and it will be replaced. Dont tell them you ave an after market filter, as this make it void.

Ok. Mine was showing a fault with the idle air control solenoid when the MAF went, but after fitting a new MAF it seems to be fine. Strange...
