Have you ever checked for codes? Since your screen name is 92lexi, I assume it's an OBD1 92 vehicle. Check the DIY on how to jumper the diagnostic port to read your codes. If you have none, then check for ground issues. You should have 3 main ground points coming from the engine. There is one just below the battery connected to the car. Remove it, sand around the area, rescrew that ground. There is also one just below the intake manifold. Same method. Also, there is one more on the tranny. Same thing. After that, clean your throttle, make sure you have a clean air-filter, etc. That's about the best advice I can give you. I had the same problems which drove me nuts. Finally did all of the steps above and it worked out ok. The only other thing I tried was a second MAF because I was hit with the MAF code.

Well I managed to get the valve cover gasket replaced. I also went ahead and cleaned the valve covers up and hit them with the wrinkle black. I hate the 2jzge intake manifold...

well its actually not what I did to my sc.....but I bought a parts car for me and my girlfriends sc's 
bought it for 850 bucks
the parts car is a 94 sc300 automatic. the head is cracked and I was told the pistons were messed up. I bought basically to fix up my girlfriends interior and pull misc stuff off it that me and her are missing.
also it came with tein coilovers so imma swap them onto mine.
before I bought the car I bought the body kit off the guy for 200 bucks and it's a real origin bodykit

I'll check the grounds the only code that has came up is a knock sensor code. And I'm waiting for one to come in the mail. I cleaned it and installed it. What do you mean by screw the valve portion in? The car warms up fine drives good. But after I drive it for a while the idle just drops to 200 and the whole car shakes like a ****.. been doing that since I got it.... And the only other thing I've had suggested is that maybe the tps is shorting out when it gets to temp. But now that its warmer its getting worse.
Today I hand washed and waxed the car. Love the diamond white pearl. Installed driver side corner light and noticed some one converted them to fogs...

Anyway I installed my new wheels and tries today, along with my stance gr's. All went well besides a slight offset miscalculation and the realization that something in my driveline is FUBAR...
I did not realize those were that expensive lol!
