ok umm everytime i start my car it revs up to 1000 rpm and then the idle fades down and the motor start to shake alot. sometimes the car dies out on me right when i just turn on the car. but i found out if i gave it some gas and dont make the idle drop to less then 1000rpm its fine. after a few minutes ill just let the throttle go and it'll stay just below 1000 but wont die.

okay, then you have other issues.
The cold start assist needs at least 1200 RPM just to activate. If you are starting in neutral and not getting a 1500-3000 RPM initial start, then you have other issues...
Like the coolant temp sensor is disconnected, or the BAC is bad or the AWS solenoid is bad.

you need to test them, not replace them... what are you a Mazda dealer mechanic???

Yes, the FSM explains how to test just about every sensor in the car and it shows the location as well. The directions are pretty easy to follow as long as you have digital multimeter and some other basic tools. If they are bad the solution should be obvious, replace them from the dealer or get good, used ones.
