Default HIGH idle startup

So i Got new plugs in and cleaned my IAC valve and my MAF sensor. Everything seems to be running fine now except when i turn the key the car starts up but right at first it feels as if its gonna die, then its ok. Also my RPMS stay at like between 1k-1.5k, then corrects itself after like 15 seconds.


WHATS THE DEAL

What happens if you give it gas during this time? All of my vehicles run a little high in RPMs for a few seconds but it doesn't take 15 secs (and they don't sputter at startup either). Try to turn the key to the on position (without starting), wait 10 seconds and then start. This runs the fuel pump and some other stuff. Maybe your fuel lines are not primed or something like that.
