Got it back together last night. Still runs like shit on a cold start, but, as soon as there's even a little heat in the engine it runs fine at idle. Sits right at 800 rpm.
On the poor running cold start, I pulled the vacuum line off of the FPR and it smoothened out, it's like it's not getting enough air.
The only thing I haven't messed with is the purge valve coming off of the charcoal canister. I made some new hoses for it, but never replaced it. I wonder if it's expecting to be open at idle.I do things.

Melon, make sure that purge valve is closing under the throttle body.
I think those are normally close, so if you take if off and blow through it, no air should be able to pass.
In theory, an open purge valve will cause a hard cold start.
Also, make sure your idle/throttle is all set up correctly.
***unplug your ICV and adjust the throttle stop screw until your idle gets up to about ~900 rpm. Then, reconnect the ICV and your idle should stabilize at 750 rpm. You may need to adjust your TPS again after the adjustment, since you're going to be changing your "closed" position of the throttle body.
