I am currently having the same issue. I couldn't find any leaks.

DO NOT blow air on the sensors. It won't clean them and could damage them if the air pressure is high. Just buy the Air flow sensor cleaner. I used car cleaner on mine, but someone said that is too harsh. Don't know if that true or not.

I have HFC, and I recently Untuned my car, and this problem started occurring (but I doubt it's related to any of these reasons). I wonder if it could be a result of a weak battery...

I messaged Gongo, because he had a similar problem. Here is his thread:

Weak Start / Stall (youtube Video)

He stated "I don't recall exactly but first I cleaned up the throttle body assembly. I later on experienced a similar issue but it was the factory battery weak on its deathbed. It died on me after 1.5 years and i replaced it with an optima red-top."

Hope you solve the issue, and if you do, let me know.
