Ford Explorer Idle air control valve Problem

My truck will not stay running. when you crank it, it stalls and dies. It can stay running if I give it gas. My check engine light is not on and I've already replaced the MAF sensor and the fuel filter.

I cleaned my idle air control valve and it half way fixed my problem. My truck will idle now with no problem, thank you. But it still stalls when I put it in drive or reverse.
