Ok I have confimed its not my sensors. Its either the ECM or the Spark Plugs and Im about to rule that out.

The TPS does work. With it unplugged enging bogs down slightly when accelerating hard.
-works

IAC Works. With it unplugged the A/C idles down the RPMS and the enigne doesn't adjust for it. With it plugged in the Engine adjusts for it.
-works

Maf sensor works. When unplugged while running the RPMS DROP suddenly then computer takes over and sets it to its "learned" settings. Which is the same with or without MAF.
-WORKS

SPARK PLUGS?

THEN DEALER.

Did you do anything with the throttle cable while changing spark plugs or MAF cleaning? Is it somehow too tight?

Nope, I checked with the whole hose off. The throttle is fully closed.

Heres exactly what happened.

1 Remove Maf and hose

2 Change spark plugs

3 break spark plug wire

4 change spark plug wires.

5 Truck no idle.

But please keep the suggestions coming.

Well it works!

Took it to the V shop. And they reset the Adaptive Memory.

They weren't the most friendly shop. I was really looking to talk to the mechanic about the issue first. An employee did tell me the mechanic thought it wouldn't work.

They charged me about 126$ I think it should have been a little cheaper but Im just happy it worked.

As for the Baton Rouge V shop
I would say they do good work,
But do not seem very friendly. I had to talk to the front attendant who would then convey the message to the mechanic, which just doesn't make me comfortable.

I would rate them as slightly above the baton rouge deelers customer service. Though the new orleans dealer brand seemed very willing to help but could not get to the vehicle anytime soon.

The rover DID NOT want to go into the shop. It was throwing a hissy fit.

First I was cruising along at 75mph and I see a light I have never seen before. It was the transmission temperature. I pulled over for a while but it wouldn't go away. Fluid was fine. So I got to the next exit, pulled over and stopped. It finally went out and I'm going to flush the transfercase. I just can't find the fill plug.

When I pull up to the shop smoke was pouring out under the hood. Quite funny. I found it was the heater lines one sprung a pinhole....

I bypassed it.

Anyways I don't feel all is fine yet. My truck Is SOMETIMES hesistating (I think) when accelerating from a stop. Feels like when you disconnect the tps.
I think my tps is bad and if I keep driving it it might go back to high idle mode.. But I'll check into it before buying anything

The fill plug on the t-case is at 10 o'clock looking from the rear.

75? You must have money to burn.
