SOLVED!!
Randomly today, before I decided to pull the IACV, wanted to make sure everything else checked out. Checked fuses, all good. Everything was put back how it was....
or so I thought.
Totally forgot I had this random bracket holding my maf+intake system to my wheel well so it doesn't jump around and everything while driving.
could it be that simple? that ridiculous?
Couldn't find it, so I put an alligator clip from one of the 4 nuts from the MAF to the filter, and then to the top of my strut tower (basically grounding it)
Started and ran beautifully like nothing had changed. Idled was perfect. success!!
So apparently, the ground in the MAF failed(?) and it needs this bracket to ground to the chassis or else it won't idle for some reason, not too sure where its lost there, but i assume it basically thinks the MAF is malfunctioning. I'm not gonna think too much about it, just gonna concentrate on getting the next bit of work done while the car can actually move haha
Fabbed up a new bracket, bolted it down, no issues.
Easily the most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced with this car. So random.
Thanks everyone for the advice!
