Default Engine Sometimes starts, when it does it dies.

Recently just cleaned the MAF and throttle body. Changed air filter and replaced alt. Any Ideas? Also before this issue came about it would idle funny, like the idle speed would slightly bob up and down..

Possibility that that the mass air sensor was put in backwards after u cleaned it this would cause that exact problem. This happened to my 06 gto
