Default Stalling!

A few days ago I changed my MAF sensor cuz a few weeks back I had an intermitten code and the dealer said my maf was bad. Also I had taken my valve covers off to paint them along with that I had to take a bunch of sensors off etc.
Ive been having a start up problem-sometimes the car wouldn't start up the first time-it would turn over but ususally wouldnt start til like the 3rd-4th try where it would kinda sputter then start.
Anyways just yesterday the car started stalling right after I start it. But if I give it gas right away it'll be fine and back to normal.

Ive recently has the charcoal canister and evap canister changed since I was getting a vacuum leak from there.
Any ideas?

The cold start switch is on the front of intake, passenger side. Check the connection to the coolant temp sender(ecm), while your there(beside cold start switch).
The IAC is on the lower part of throttle body, passenger side.
