Idle air control valve? Maybe try turning up the idle a little if it's low? Sounds like cause its fine warming up while the idle is high.

^^^

Sounds like an idle issue since the car only does this when idling. My money is on base timing being off or IACV.

Bad MAF doesn't exhibit the kind of symptoms you described, neither does a bad battery terminal. Those two things you did will not hurt anyway, but no reason to throw money away.

Good luck with this

Thanks alot guys

I went to the mechanic after he changed the mass airflow sensor because it was still doing it, and he replaced the crankshaft sensor and hardness, it was all replaced. Thank for all the help
