Check your Air Flow Meter, Idle Control Valve, Throttle Position Switch, Air-Slide Valve and make sure that there are no vacumm leaks in your engine. The M20 does not tolerate air/vacumm leaks.

new AFM is about RM1800/=.........go get a used one.

If it is the AFM, you can save some money by servicing it yourself.

Some people have try it and it works. If you go for re-con, you might have to pay about RM250 to RM350.
