Default 2002 Base - Engine Stalling while driving

Recently purchased a used 2002 Mustang Coupe 2 months ago. Car runs great when warm... Lately, very cold start ups though; car stalls at start up while idling, even after revving at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes ... Car stalls at lights while decelerating both up a hill and down a hill coming to a traffic stop. Recently changed spark plugs, wires, exhaust manifold, cleaned the Cold Air Intake Filter, and brought a new fuel filter. Also replaced transmission.
Any suggestions as to what could be causing this??? Guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Ding!


Also clean your MAF and remember never to touch the wires with ANYTHING other than the cleaner spray stream.
