Engine stalls in the mornings?


I went through all of the sensor changes, IAC, MAP, EGR Valve plus EGR Relay, engine temp sensor and O2 Sensor. I finally found my best results came from backing off the throttle positive idle stop. It was set too high which did not allow the IAC and other sensors to adjust for the proper fuel/air mixture. A V-6 will never idle as smoothe as a V-8 because of the firing order, especially when cold, but I have finally achieved a satisfactory level after the engine warms up to operating temperature - it runs great.

A tip I got my friend was to take a rag and soak it with cleaner and wipe off the back of the throttle blade....even after using most of a can of intake cleaner the back of the blade had a huge amount of crud on it.....I guess this can cause some problems,especially with the idle.
 
Thanks for all the help. I dont know what i would do with out this site! Ima look into all those suggestions. I also found a post like on page 147ish way back, about fuel pump maybe not working properly. since i do have 2 pumps maybe ones sticking or something till it starts going again. Ima pick up a fuel pressure (loan a tool) see what i get. Thanks everybody again
 
Thanks for all the help everybody, so the other day i was driving around and after my morning start up issue i was out and about. coming home it started to do the bad TFI symptoms. Had an extra tfi swapped it out and no start. waited 10 min and cruised for 1/2 mile and it shut down again. So I waited 30 more min to see if I could make it home but i never got it to start again. I got a friend to tow me home. Im not getting spark. Mechanic buddy came we checked everything and my pickup was getting weird reading on the voltometer, i went out a bought a new one and readings were way different. Tried to take the distrubutor apart to get to the pickup and we broke the gear drive on it. After days of looking for the gear, i found one and 22 bucks decided to buy a whole new distrubator.(20-pickup, 22-gear = 42 bucks) A reman dizzy was 60 bucks. Now im waiting for my buddy to help me out with the timing. cuz i have no idea. Hopefully this cures the issues ive been having
