I need idle help

I have a 96 explorer with the push rod v-6 and the idle is acting up, sometimes it will rev to high ,some times it will float and sometimes i have to hold the gas to the floor to start, then it might be ok for a short time, anyone have some ideas, I look at the pcv valve and vaccume lines and tried a new iac, and idle sensore, and cleaned the mass air


thanks

During the pressure test, bring the system up to spec and then check for leak down when ignition is shut off....... If you see leak down check FPR first then pull the injectors for testing/cleaning... Philip
