    S52 stalling and terrible idle

    s52 OBD2 Problems:
    Stalls out immediately unless throttle is held with MAF plugged in and if i mash the gas up to like 3,000 rpm or so it clears up nicely and sounds normal.
    Maf unpluged barely runs but will stay running
    SPECS:
    - This is in a e30 but shouldn't be any different from e36 m3
    - I am running the oem obd 2 FPR havent checked fuel pressure.
    - Maf was bought used confirmed voltage using INPA (potentially good?)
    - Replaced intake boot and IACV hose also cleaned IACV and it is humming
    - will confirm 02 sensor voltage with INPA tonight
    - SAP and EWS and rear 02's deleted
    Thoughts:
    I am assuming I am running lean with MAF connected and that's why it runs better while disconnected.
    I cant find any vacuum leaks that would cause me to run lean?
    anyone have any suggestions for me to test?
    (I have researched the hell out of this now I am asking for the communities help, Thanks in advance)
    Got INPA codes 27 and 53 for idle adjuster.
    replaced IACV no change
    Updated with video: how is there no misfire code it sounds terrible????
    fuel pressure:47 psi with engine off and not consistent bouncing around with engine on at over 50 psi
    compression (engine cold, harbor freight tester):
    cyl 1,2,4,5,6: 140
    cyl 3: 130

    Sounds like a vacuum leak.

        Definitely a vacuum leak somewhere under the manifold but I couldn't pinpoint where it is coming from

          What a shity problem I'm dealing with it now I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it, car runs rich, then when I open the throttle all the way it clears out the engine, it works fine for a bit then goes into a bad idle and runs horrible
