The problem I'm having is that I have to cycle the computer about every 6 or so starts. When I reset the computer the car idles perfectly at 850-900 where it should.

After I drive for a while (day or two) or about every 6 or so starts. The car will start up and idle anywhere between 1800-2200.

The only way I can get the car to idle back to normal is to reset the computer. So what is causing this and how can I fix it?

I've checked for air leaks, and don't have any. Any other suggestions or ideas
2 things to try

1st it take your IAC valve off and clean it with brake or card cleaner
2nd if you have a K&N filter clean maf wires with elec. contact cleaner
