Nissan Note cutting out

I have 2008 Nissan Note which has started to cut out in traffic but it starts first time. After starting it is very slow and rough and pick up. Engine feels has if it 'hunting' Car has been on forecourt for the last 3 months. No warning lights are on.

Well we are assuming that it is a petrol engine.
Assuming that, it could be a number of things.
1. Check the air intake/vacuum system for leaks
2. Then the IAC (idle air control valve)
3. Then the HO2S sensor- sometimes called the Lambda sensor
4. Then the ECT(engine coolant temp sensor)
5. Then the TP (throttle position sensor)
6. Then the MAF (mass air flow sensor)
As you can see it could be anyone of these
