Here are some common(ish) sensors/parts that you should check:

AFM
O2 sensor
TPS
Coolant temp sensor

Also, check for vacuum leaks...

Engine Control Input Signals
Water Temp
Intake Air Temp (AFM)
Oxygen Sensor
RPM Signal (Crankshaft position)
Throttle Signal (TPS)
Vehicle Speed
A/C Switch
Battery Signal
Intake Air Volume (AFM)
Stop Light Switch
Starter Signal
Engine Knock
4WD Signal

There are obviously others for transmission (gear selector, transfer case, etc.), braking (brake fluid level), oil pressure, parking brake switch, etc.
