Default Idle problem

Hey guys new to the forum,
im having an idling problem with05 mustang GT. When im on idle it starts to die and I have to rev the engine to stop it from dying. I put a new alternator, battery, spark plugs, and ignition coils. I clean the maf sensor and throttle body and I check all vacuum lines to see if there's and leaks or crack, at this point I don't know what's causing the problem.

Disconnect the negative battery cable for 10 minutes to reset the ECU. Then reconnect and follow the idle relearning procedure as described in the owner's manual.
