Great stuff, I'm glad it's a red one, much easier to fix than blue ones
Right, top suspect has to be the pipe that goes from the inlet manifold to the MAP sensor. This pipe often perishes and lets in air, especially on the ends.
If this is the snag it'll make the engine run very roughly as it upsets the ECU fuel metering. Often the leak is bad enough to make an audible hissing noise when the engine is idling.
Otherwise, generally check the whole inlet tract for air leaks and give everything in that area a good clean, particularly the crankcase breather pipes. Faults of this nature are nearly always down to air leaks.
