Default need advice!!

Some times when I push my clutch in when stopping my engine stays reved up for a little bit. Also sometimes when I crank it up after driving it for a while the idle is really low for a min, and it eventually will pick up on its on or when I hit the gas. Any help would be appreciated.

My ideas in order of likeliness are:

1) Bad IAC
2) Bad TPS
3) Bad MAP

I remember my idle did some really weird things when I first did my manual transmission swap, and it took me 2 or 3 IACs before one finally worked the way it should!

Get some carb cleaner and clean clean clean before you change out any sensors. A friend of mine had the same problem on her 4cyl FORD. And turned out the IAC was dirty as homeless underwear. With that being said, I had to change out the IAC anyways cause it was a magnetic problem. And if anyone here has attempted to change one on a FORD is probably why they own a DODGE.
