I'm thinking MAF, or TPS...

Changed Alternator, coils, wires and plugs, and the car is still idling rough like its missing. When coming to a stop, the clutch is pushed in, and the RPMs take a little while to fall. The RPMs fall a little low, sometimes I fear its going to die, but then it jumps back up to where it should be and does this at random while idling. The car is idling like its got a dead cyl., and the only things I can think of to check is either the MAF or the Throttle-Position Sensor... Anyone got any other ideas before I go buying a bunch of sensors at random until the problem is fixed?

What do the High/Low Circuit codes mean for the MAF and TPS?

My car did the same thing and it ended up being the mass air sensor..

Yup, Mass air sensor is what I'm suspecting... I need to get a friend to let me take thier's off and put in place of mine to see if that fixes it...
