We're going to need a lot more info than that if you want anything other than very vague guesses. Model year and type of car would be a start.

Is this behaviour you're talking about something you've been experiencing since buying the car or did it develop afterwards? Do you have the original dumpvalve available to refit? Any sign of the check engine light?

Possibly be the MAF sensor located on the pipe leading up to the air box. Could take it off and clean it, but it would be advisable to source a new one as they are a bit Naf on 99/00 cars.
