Have Autozone scan it for you? Could be lots of things. Probably your MAF though.

Default this happened to me before, and i ended up having to replace the alternator

and the battery. when you pull codes check the voltage output from the alternator and let me know what it says. my old alternator was only running a few low and it still needed to be replaced.
