What could cause it?
My problem is a bit different though.
When I start the car it runs ok, but if I turn off for couple of min (like stop at the fuel station etc.), then start it again, engine revs so low and when I press the gas pedal nothing happens but the engine doesn't want to turn off.
Then after a couple of seconds, it starts runs normal again.
 
Don't think I have a MAF sensor in my car, only MAP.

I have this thing that looks like it measures air but it has only 2 pins, I can't see the rest of it:

Injector light came on today and stays on.

Seems like a fuel problem, I can notice black smoke from the exhaust when I start the car and smell of fuel.

Starting takes long. when the car is started, sometimes when I hit the gas pedal nothing happens, only after few seconds.

Car is like running on 3 cylinders sometimes but not very shaky. and after less then 1 min everything is ok but still the injector light is on.

Engine revs high suddenly too at start (2-3k rpm).

I can notice when I play with the Throttle body position sensor wires, engine acts different.
The wires doesn't look good but it's not touching each other:

Would a bad throttle position sensor could be the problem or should I look for something else? (fuel pump, plugs and everything is new)

Where can I get such a plug?
The least I can do is to isolate each wire but it doesn't look too good.
