We had a 98 forester do this, you had to feather the throttle to get it going, it would stall. We tried replacing the spark plugs at no avail. It turned out the be the MAF and it was cured replacing it with a junkyard unit. (ej25d DOHC)

Clear the code, as un plugging the MAF would have tripped it and stored it. Use an obd2 scanner, or disconnect the battery to clear it.. Perhaps the connector was loose or corroded? Sometimes just wiggling a connector can slve problems. Get some electrical contact cleaner and some dielectric grease.
