Car stalling for first time ever

First off, long time visitor of this website for many DIY and troubleshooting issues. This is the first time I haven't found a solution to my problem. Hopefully someone can help.

2005; 109,336 miles, AT; no dummy lights (minus the coolant light that's been on since around 50,000 miles)

Today, I changed out coils/plugs/wires. After finishing everything up, I went to take it for the first spin and it started perfectly. Backing out of my driveway, it stalled on me in reverse. I let it sit for 20-30 since I have the glorious hot start issues, and again it started right up. As soon as I let off the gas, the RPM's crash and it stalls.

I have seen several "fixes" on here and nothing has worked yet.

I've tried the 20 brake stomp to reset the system, and also the method of warming up, turning off a/c, radio, etc, rev around 3500 for greater than 15s, rev around 5000 for greater than 15s, let cooling fan come on and let idle for 60 seconds after fan turns off. NOTHING I'VE TRIED HAS WORKED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Any ideas?

Well, the hot start problem is classic low compression symptoms.
I think I've read that new coils may make this problem more evident.
