Re: car stalling when started....
IAC is an idle air control valve located on passanger side of TBI above the TPS. Also if you used an aftermarket fuel pump from a local parts house it is most likely it was made in China and they are not long lifed pumps. Had to replace two in my truck in a year. Third one is a Delphi from GM and no probs for three years.
Does the car stay at a higher idle for awhile after it is warmed up? If do suspect the IAC.
Check your refrence voltage at both the TPS & IAC at startup.

Re: car stalling when started....
also a sign of a failing ignition control module! Have you fixed your issue ?
