No Start for 3-4 tries, then low idle

I'm having an issue with my 2000 X5 with the 4.4. It won't start after cranking for several times and then when it does start it might stall once before driving normally. Even after it warms up, it tends to idle low.

Has anyone had a similar issue and corrected it successfully?

Thanks!

Maybe Coils, or MAF?

I dunno. I changed the plugs the other day and they were toast. I'm going to clean the MAF meter tonight and see if that helps.

The car runs good once it warms up but the idle just seems too low.

Well the MAF looked clean but I cleaned it anyway. It has been firing right up lately but the idle is still not great. I'm leaning towards new o2 sensors since they have never been changed I'm sure. It has 117K miles
