Default Normal idling AFTER TB and MAF cleaning ? PICS

While driving to work today for the first time since last week when I cleaned my MAF and TB my car at red lights seemed like it almost wanted to stall when I hit the gas but it never did stall, NEVER did this before, I snapped some pics from my daily commute to work in a few steps listed with pics below......






#1: Cold start up steady idle in park (seem high?)

Someone didn't buy the car when I had it up for sale because of this. He was paranoid though.

How can anyone state that stalling is normal?? Are you guys kidding me?? Flocko, you know your car more than anyone else on here. If it wasn't doing this before, but NOW you have the issue with it almost stalling at red lights, then it's something wrong. No way that stalling is NORMAL.

Exactly, my car NEVER did this, I'll see what it does after work, bad gas maybe?
