VIDEO: Not idling, super rough, no power

Maf? Tps?.... spray some carb/ brake cleaner in al the hoses u see to make sure its not a vaccum leak, also by the intake manifold gaskets..
hope it helps, thats wierd tho.

E30's dont have MAF's, I cleaned out the TPS about a month ago. How would I determine a leak from spraying the cleaner? Thanks

This is an M20B25..
I've been usually able to diagnose my engine much better than when I first got the car, but this has me stumped.
It doesn't hold idle, and if it does it holds it at 200RPM, then I give it gas past 3000RPM and the engine shuts off.
Its SUPPPPPPER shaky around 2500rpm.
Starting it up is awful (as you'll see in the video)
And I basically have no power.
I DOUBT its a vacuum leak, I put a new intake boot and my ICV's been cleaned well, if its a vacuum leak then it would sure be audible because it would have to be a major one to cause it to die so easily.
I changed out the spark plugs, nothing.
Not overheated, Headgasket was changed 2 months ago so I'm pretty darn sure I have good compression.


Also, prior to this my idle was super perfect and steady at 600rpm..
My guess is a cylinder isn't firing....but I don't know how that can be. There's no arcing between the contact points on the distributor cap
