ok now my problem is occurring at random, i just got back in from a night out with zero problems out of the car. I'm gona stop worrying about the idle because it doesn't affect how the car drives. Thanks for the help everyone.
 
Did you ever fix the problem,if not my 98 gt done the same thing. It ended up being the MAF, it would act fine then start making it throw codes.Some days it ran perfect,then it smelled like it was burning raw gas, I changed the MAF and problem was fixed,hasnt done it since. I had the same codes your were saying your car showed,hope that helps.

Really? Yes it still does it. My car will actually start and idle with that thing not even plugged in then i go to plug it back in hoping the idle will be better and nothing happens. Then i go to unplug it with nothing happening again. I will most certainly check into this.

Was it the sensor for you or the actual MAF unit.
 
i had a 4.6 4v in my 93 lincoln mark viii wouldnt run unless was given throttle cause MAF wiring was messed up. but it would go into limp mode and run okish after a while

It was the MAF unit,I went through 2 of them till I got a good one.Do not get one from Autozone,Advance Auto,Try to get a FORD one if you can,alot better unit. I have full PI swap also,and stage 2 cams.
I have had No problems in 6000 miles!!!

Thats weird because mine is from Advance. I needed one because when i had bought the car it had no intake or MAF. Have not had a problem untill now after the PI swap.
