99' 3.4L erratic idle problem, P0505 code

Trying to track down an idle problem.

I've search and read a lot of posts on this.
Yes it still does it once fully warmed up.

It idles high sometimes (1500-1700rpm) and other times low (600rpm).

I recently changed the timing belt. I'm wondering if I caused a problem when I did that but can't see how.

I removed the IAC valve. It look fairly clean, checked it, put power on both sides, valve moved fully in both directions. It seemed to function as it should.

I cleaned the MAF tonight. Now it's idling low, around 600rpm. When I unplug the electrical connector on the IAC the engine idles up.

When I unplug the TPS the engine skips once and the idle doesn't change.

I've checked for air leaks.

What else?

It appears cleaning the MAF fixed the problem. Drove it to work yesterday with no codes or erratic idle. Idling around 7-800rpm now.
