You need to get the fault codes read but it sounds like it's probably the MAF

yep i reckon that aswell.

It's probably upset that you shout at it all the time, and whatever you do, don't turn the ignition off, when driving, as the steering lock will come on, and then you will die.

Disconnect the battery negative to reset the ECU, DO NOT turn the ignition off when motoring, as said the steering will lock up, and also unburnt fuel will be deposited into the CAT, thus destroying it.
