Chances are it needs a new MAF.
EML should reset after you have run it a while - it can take five runs before it does though.
If the MAF is shot, it won't reset - or not permanently anyway.
Check for leaking vacuum pipes and leaks in the intercooler/hoses.

Best of all, find a member local to you and negotiate a Lexia diagnostic on it, by far the best way to aid problem solving.

Lexia owners willing to do this can be found here.

PM the one of your choice to arrange a meet.
