Easy things to check...

The fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail can get clogged up. Pull the regulator off and blow off the screen.

Check for vacuum leaks on the intake after the MAF

Check your PCV circuit for plugs/leaks

If it is doing it primarily at start up, then I doubt it is O2 sensor or MAF related.

What plugs did you put in?
