Clean the MAF sensor and IAT sensor with MAF sensor cleaner. Spray the the cleaner as directed, let dry then reinstall. Turn the ignition key's to the run position (engine not running) for 30 seconds then turn off for 5 seconds, Then start the engine let idle for 1 min and go for a test drive to reset the sensors. Good luck and keep me posted. Be glad to help.

'98 S10 4 cyl. 5 speed: Sudden high idle, now surges.
Go to your local shucks or auto zone and they can check any codes behind your check engine light and it's free. It sounds like one of two things a O2 sensor or your mass airflow sensor but they will tell you for sure

Check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve, you should have 13 to 13.5psi, anything other then that will give you problems in the GM TBI. If the pressure is bad, then you may have to replace the fuel pressure regulator at the bottom of the TB. 
Good luck and keep me posted.
