when the IAC get stuck open, your will have a fluttering idle from usually 500-1400 (depending on where it cuts fuel) the engine wil eventually cut fuel when idle reaches to high, and you have a repeating process...it would also explan the stalls...check the resisitance between all the coils with an ohmmeter and it will find out real quick if that is your problem...if one of them is over a 1000 you have found your problem!....sounds like maf to me to, ever tried to start a car with the maf unpluged? You have to kep it up over a 1000 to keep it running
