you should check your plug and if its fould you could try to go with a colder plug its a good chance it could be your plugs

check the plugs, coils, and fuel filter. If none of those check out then go to the MAF

Colder plugs foul easier.....

Stock plugs should work fine.

You may consider testing your coolant temp sensor as well.

I had the same problem when my tps wasnt set right. Is this the first time you started the engine or did it just start? I would say is a boost/vac leak, timing is off, tune up, dirty injectors or maf, or tps isnt set right.
