Car hasn't been used for a week and went to start yesterday, wouldn't start, all lights where working but wouldn't turn so I thought battery may have lost some power but after numerous attempts I held the key down and it started very rough, rumbling its way to idle and then sat at 800rpm which it is the correct idle.
From then on car was fine, no issues at all and took it for a drive.
Today after letting the car sit, started the car, sat at 800rpm but then when I went to move off, idle went down to around 400rpm, dash was shaking each time i moved down from 2nd gear to a halt at traffic lights, it would idle rough and then problem went away and now no rough idle.
Also when just sitting at idle, it will idle at 800rpm but then for 1-2 seconds lose idle and go down to about 500rpm and grumble before returning.
Any ideas of what could be the issue as I recently had a failed MAF sensor and had similar symptoms but I had a code and EML was on but there are no codes and was wondering if this sounds like a possible air leak?

What was the repair to the "Recently failed" MAF?
If It was not a Bosch with the original part number, that is likely the problem.
May be able to add diagnostics from there.

A no crank or slow crank issue is likely a battery cable problem. As for the car stalling or trying to stall, if there are no codes, I'd check for fuel delivery issues.

Cheers for the videos and replies. Yes the MAF sensor was BOSCH and it failed within 2 weeks (which I know is rare) and had it replaced under warranty. No issues driving the car today but will have an inspection as its no fun thinking if the car will start in the morning!
