Clean your MAF wires, that'll cure your issue.

and it didn't work??? I used Carb cleaner and a couple of q-tips and stuck it back in there before it was even dry, cured some idle problems for me.

I read somewhere not to use carb cleaner on your mass air sensor wires but to use contact cleaner. Is this not true. Maybe I will use a Q-tip to help clean.
