Car has high idle around 1,500-2,000 rpm's when the car is hot. I checked for a vacuum leak and found nothing. I also cleaned the mass airflow sensor. After starting my car up again I found that the idle is jerky and still idles high. The car still drives fine so I assume the problem is with some kind of sensor. Should I replace my front o2 sensor?

Hello,

This sounds like a problem with your Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. I have included a link for down below to a guide and vehicle specific instructions for the IAC, but it requires some specific tools to go through it. Let us know what you find out.
