Could b an O2 sensor OR a Stuck open thermostat or one that's 2 cold-EVEN a clogged muffler or converter-many other things can cause your condition.
You were careful not to get any dirt on the hotwire/resistor in the sensor? I had a dead bug get on mine, and it didn't get burnt off like it was supposed to. This thing is very sensitive, so any debris on the wire will give you problems. You did plug in the IAT sensor, right? There is also a chance that you have the wrong MAF sensor.
v-6 located between the center firewall and on the top rear of engine. has one wire connector on it. In the exhaust header between the engine and the radiator. Couldn't be easier to find and work on.
On the Minivan it is the sensor in the exhaust on the back of the engine in the exhaust manifold.On an Intrepid/LHS/Concorde it is the pass side above cat oxygen sensor.On the Minivan it is the sensor in the exhaust on the back of the engine in the exhaust manifold.On an Intrepid/LHS/Concorde it is the pass side above cat oxygen sensor.
Exhaust
# The sensor is located in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe and is accessible from under the vehicle # Since the oxygen sensor may be difficult to remove with the engine cold begin by operating the engine until it has warmed to atleast 120 degrees # Disconnect the electrical wire from the oxygen sensor and carefully unscrew the oxygen sensor from the exhaust pipe.Be adviced that excessive force may damage the threads inspect the oxygen sensor for damage unless you are replacing it
They should be in the exhaust system close to the engine ( either in the exhaust manifold outlets or the exhaust pipe ) before the exhaust enters the catalytic converters Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine and sensor 1 is the upstream sensor Bank 2 is the driver side of the engine and sensor 1 is the upstream sensor on that side
Bank 1 is the drivers side of the engine. Sensor 1 will be the first sensor that is screwed into the exhaust pipe that is the closest to the engine/exhaust manifold.

That is the O2 sensor in the exhaust closest to the engine.
In the exhaust manifold behind the engine.In the exhaust manifold behind the engine.
On your V6 engine : Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine Sensor 1 is in the exhaust pipe ( or exhaust manifold ) before the exhaust enters the catalytic converter ( upstream )
There are two, in the exhaust behind the engine.There are two, in the exhaust behind the engine.
