    Maybe try resetting it? Unhook the battery for a while. then hook it back up and run it.

    i have a new MAF sensor to put in it in the morning im going reset the whole system after i hook it up and try that. if the problem still arises im going drive it about 30-40 miles and see if the computer will just adjust to the new sensors

    I just posted my solution for this in another post for someone with a similar issue, it's for my '03 Jeep Wrangler, similar sensors etc - I'll report it here:

    "I have been having a idle issue with my 4.0l, it would idle between 1300-2000 but usually would hover around 1500. I cleaned the IAC, throttle body and harness connections to the sensors ( MAP, TP, Air temp sensor). I hooked up my ODB and I could see that the TP was sending the correct signal. Then I checked all the vacuum hoses using the carb cleaner method (with the engine running, spray it on all the vacuum hoses and see if the engine rpm change). I still had the issue, after pricing the sensors I decided to just start replacing them since they didn't cost that much, I also opted for Mopar since the chinese ones were getting mixed reviews. I got the IAC for about $50 but nothing changed after I installed it, next was the MAP($65) and that fixed the issue. I also learned a MAF sensor has the air temp sensor built in while a MAP sensor uses an external air temp sensor. The air temp sensor would have been my next item to buy. The only thing I would have done different is to have bought the MAP first, it is usually this guy that fails"
