Check Idle air control motor for dirty. Also check EGR valve, and for any vacuum leaks. Possible bad ignition module.

What three sensors are on the throttle body of a 1997 Pontiac firebird has a high idle and already changed mass air flow sensor and tps sensor

You need to likely replace the Idle speed control valve (not a sensor, it is an actuator). But stop guessing and throwing away money on unneeded parts!

Why won't my 2002 Toyota Sienna idle on it's own? I have replaced the Throttle Positioning Sensor already.

Clean the IAC motor and inside the throttle body. This will fix your problem.

well, since you have already checked many options, one other thing that could cause a problem like that is the idle control valve,
pvc valve, throttle control sensor, and even the EGR valve, but a diagnostics check-up should tell you more efficiently what the problem is.

My 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport 6 cyl. acts like it wants to stall. I recently had a thermostat sensor replaced and that seemed to fix the problem. However two months later, the problem has returned. A

I'm assuming you mean a coolant temp sensor. The sensor tells the computer what the coolant temp is.
Normally when a sensor fails the check engine light comes on to warn the driver. Normally but not always.
One thing that could affect both problems you describe is the idle air control valve. If the valve fails or sticks, the engine can stall or have a high idle speed. The computer controls idle speed by how much air is allowed into the throttle body.
The throttle body could also be very dirty.

2001 Mazda Tribute intermittently stalls at idle. Already replaced the idle control module. Checked the fuel pump and filter. What is it?

Check your EGR valve, check your PCV valve, check your mass airflow sensor and throttle body sensor.
