Default Rough Idle

I have a 2000 XJ and as the colder months roll around I am starting to have idling issues (again). It will idle very low (200 to 400) and bounce around there, occasionally dying if I let it sit too long. Earlier in the year I was having the same issue, and I thought I resolved it when I replaced the tps and O2 sensors. Not sure why its happening again. Any ideas?

Clean the IAC and TB for starters. And clean all grounds and battery clamps until shiny.
