Heres a tough one

Ok when my car is cold it stutters and sometimes almost stalls. I mean the lights dim almost to the point of stalling but it doesnt. Then sometimes when im driving RPM's just bounce up and down and the car almost starts bucking. Now ive changed all 6 coils, plugs, cleaned IAC, bought a new maf, cleaned TB, and fuel injector cleaning service. Im almost about to give up on the problem and just deal with it since its not giving me a code. Im thinking an injector problem but im also open to some more opinions and i dont know what a dying injector feels like. Also it does it more when the car is cold and drives almost perfectly normal when up to operating tempature(it will still do in on some occasions)

Check your coolant temp sensor as it will affect cold engine operation.
