I dont know where to start.. So I'm dumbfounded by this
The car runs like this whenever its less then 45*F if I'm lucky I can get it rolling but as soon as I get off of the throttle it dies, in the video at the end I.killed.it.because I.felt like I'd do damage. When and if I can get it warmed up to operating temperature it runs fun but till then if I stop at a light she wants to die, kinda like a sputter. It only does this when its cold like less then 45*f

What kind of air filter do you use? (That could be the source of your MAF problem.) Is it an oiled air filter?
It might also be interesting to put a scanner on your car and see if the IAT is reading properly. They could both be fouled and need cleaning.

I cleaned both, and yes i am using a K&N Airfilter that is oiled and reuseable, i have her running fiine, but i still have the issue of when its below operational tempature when cold, she doesnt seem to like to idle, tends to drop a little low and smells rich, for example if im at a light i tend to have to put it in nutral and lightly gas it to 1k because she sounds like she wants to sputter out and die :c

What did you clean them with? You may have to do a deeper cleaning. (Some of us have had to use a Q-Tip, but that's really dangerous...)
I threw mine away and life has been much better since.
It would be interesting to hook your car up to a scanner and see what the IAT and MAF are reading. Odd that you are smelling rich. I'd expect things to fail lean.

Running rich or lean, I think it may be due to my O2 sensors, when.I had my exhaust put on I had the cats cut off

As far as the filter I haven't seem.to have issues from it. I like.the idea if one filter rather then after like 2-3 filters you basically have bought, the K&N. But that's another debate for.another day haha

A dirty MAF is the air filter issue. They can shed oil off of them, which the heater/cleaner on the MAF can't get rid of. That oil covering on the MAF "hides" the true air flow in to the engine, which causes the PCM to compensate by leaning out the fuel mix. So, if you are really rich... this wouldn't be your issue.

Yes, except for the shifting, i must say it wants to GO! lol im scared for my u-joints since i just replaced them.. from revearse i go to nutral and let the RPMs drop, then go to drive and she still seems like im nutural droping x.x

Does your transmission still act up once the care is up to temperature? I don't have a lot of personal experience with automatics, but would expect the car to behave differently once its up to temp. (It may not behave better, but differently...)

They can be damaged easily.

The sensor is only an issue when the out side tempature is below 45*f when the MAF is unplugged i do notice a slight higher iddle especially when its cold out, and the car is not up to operating tempature. That was where i was getting the feeling of *nutral Dropping* from going from revurse. its not like im trying to be a bat out of hell lol, but i will come to a complete stop with the breaks fully set.
