Yes, I did that for about 1 hour and it's still the same. It has to be a leak somewhere...

Maybe you tore the air intake boot. Make sure to very carefully verify in between the ridges for cracks/tears.

How to explain the sound.... when it idles, it sounds like a 67 camero with cams, like it choked out. And it smells like its running rich. Sounds like it has cams in it lol. This is how it sounds, of course not like that but it's cutting out like that lol. Then it stalls out, no CEL comes on.

No. They are not supposed to be taken apart.

First of all it is not a MAF. The 94 model uses a VAF metering device that is not a serviceable device. Completely different functionality than a MAF. Until you fix known problems then you're just pissing into the wind. Your current problem screams vacuum leak which the tub seals can cause as well as the oil coated spark plugs could be causing misfires.

if you want to baseline your VAF then I recommend sending the whole unit to Bavarian Restorations in California as I did. It cost me $~360 from HI, it'll be cheaper from CONUS. Just an option, but like others have said, you should not have taken the VAF apart. They're too fickle to fork with, without consequences. They will completely overhaul the VAF and the website will show you in detail what they do. Was very well worth it for me. Turn time was about a month.
Now that I recall your thread, I'm confident your issues stem from the VAF. I linked the site earlier in your thread.

I can confirm the VAF was the issue. We took it apart, ran some tests, rebuilt it, ran tests, and finally rebuilt it again. For those that had asked questions, here is a picture of the order it gets rebuilt back in. If anyone has a question on the rebuild, PM me. And thanks for your help, very appreciated.

Tube seals are next, and thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Thanks for hanging in there with me, much appreciated!
@Rifleman
Thanks for the info, very appreciated!
And thanks to the others who helped and provided feedback as well.
Moral of the story, one thing fixed leads to another that needs fixing. This VAF thing has to be streamlined for an at home fix, that is my goal here from all of these issues I came across. I will figure out how to fix a VAF at home and provide instructions.
