Runs but won't idle. Runs if I keep it over 2k RPMs. I'll have to go get some MAF cleaner, I assume Advance or the like has it?

Thanks Chandler, seems pretty easy. Hopefully that's all it is. Will this work?

Just stripped off the intake to the TB, turned the butterfly and it's clean. Now what? Haha what a damn day this turned out to be. Still thinking bad gas...
Edit here's a kicker, I started it with no intake and it idled fine. Maybe there an issue in the intake somewhere. Need to inspect for varmint blockage

Gonna throw this out there......If it idled without the intake housing and piping......Where the MAF sensor lives.....Maybe the MAF sensor is faulty. Maybe the wiring going to the MAF was modified by a rodent.

Hope it helps.
