Engine Performance problem
2000 Ford Contour 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my 2000 contour 2.0L 4 cylinder is idleing very bad.I have replaced the maf sensor, fuel pump with regulator,injectors,injector pressure sensor,coil pack wires,plugs, timing belt,both 02 sensors, coolant temp sensor,vmv,cam position sensor.I have searched for vacuum leaks and found none.I can add that even after replacing maf sensor,i still get 10-12 volts between ground and either of the five other sensor wires.Could it be my pcm?i had also just replaced my altenator 2 weeks befor it started idleing rough.Could it be a bad altenator? what else could it be? please help before i put a match to it.

Do you have a check engine light?

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve and the EGR valve
