Normal idle is fine just when trying to keep rpm at 2k.

Do it have an induction kit on ?
If so remove and fit standard airbox for MOT and try to clean TB and TPS and try that.

Atm its got an open cone on a pipe that sits the filter down behind the bumper.
Its throwing the eml so suggests its a sensor down.
