Did you reset the PCM by disconnecting the battery when you cleaned MAF and replaced IAC? If you didn't do it try doing it now and see if it helps.

Also it would not hurt to SeaFoam.

Try cleaning the TB also. Had the same problem on one of my older cars and it worked like a charm.

+100 on the seafoam. That **** is hella tight..

Also cleaning the t/b is another common problem.

I had to do the same thing but i had my car die at a light with some civic trying to race me, and i pulled up to the light and saw the ricer, reving at me, and when i stopped the car die, and the light turned green, so i had to start it back up while the civic gunned it.
So i started it back up and caught it before 3rd gear.. hahahhaha

Click to expand...

If you're holding the clutch in while coming to the light, then mine has done the same thing a few times but it's not consistent. If actually an old problem that no one ever found a fix for. Just put the car in neutral when coming to a light and let the clutch out or leave it in gear until your close to stopping (withough the car jerking of course).

If you're just pushing the clutch it and it dies, then I don't know.
