Fluctuates rpm going cruise speed (600-1000 rpm), hard
starts, 4 minutes to idle down, 8 minutes to move temp
needle, stalls randomly at idle. Cleaned MAF sensor and
throttle body, replaced transmission (used) and fuel pump.

Was the coolant temp sensor code P0128? If so, most common cause is a stuck open or sitcky termostat. That would cause the slow warm up. Also, check the fuel trim numbers.

I don't have access to a scanner at this point. I'm picking up a thermostat today and I'll let you know how it works. Thank you for your time.
