Something I just remembered, shouldn't the computer be reset by pulling fuse 4 and 11 rather than by the negative cable? Or will both do the job?
Yup, 4 and 11, less time/effort consuming.

They are in the fuse box under the hood, next to the battery.

I have cleaned maf, replaced pcv valve, cleaned throttle body, replaced egr valve, replaced dpfe, checked idle increase solenoid (was good), the air filter is still clean. What am I missing?

I'd suggest checking the TPS sensor. It's just a 3 wire pot.

When you take the cover off the fuse box, it has a diagram on the fuse box cover on the inside, and it tells you which fuse is which.

Well, I tried to test the TPS but I couldn't since it's so close to the firewall, couldn't get my hands behind it nor could I see the terminals to make sure i'm testing the correct ones. Any suggestions? Other than taking it off the throttle body?

Yeah, I found it, I don't know why I never noticed it before.

Hey just trying to do my part here- bad MAP sensor? I had a 89 Ford Tempo have one go bad, and it kept reving from low to high on it's own. That's my $.02...

I don't think these cars have MAP sensors...did you mean a MAF sensor, maybe?
