ka-t idle issue.. died on me today

[deuceforty]

so my car was driving fine a few days ago until it overheated... it was no big deal, the coolant line was resting on the manifold making all the passing coolant super hot.

so when i fixed that i tucked those wires between the 2 plugs on the distributor, so all i did was unplug the top plug then plug it back it.

i unplugged the maf and plugged it back in after rerouting the wires for it.

ever since i did that my car has been driving very weird, as if i have a boost leak. pegs 10.0 AFR the second i enter positive manifold pressure.
justin checked out my CELS and i had one for a secondary o2 sensor... mine is screwed into the framerail, where it has been the last 3 months. cleared the code, and it came back on within 5 miles of driving..

heres the BIG issue

going into neutral approaching a stop sign/light the idle drops and fluctuates and was nearly dying, shooting to 1k, dying, shooting to 1k, then as i came to a stop settling at 800 where is used to sit.

today it actually died, which tells me something is wrong...

i know patrick said just clean the IACV, but i cant help but wonder why suddenly it just popped out of nowhere?

it has to be the fact you moved the wires.. check for signs of exposed wiring or even a faulty connector.. make sure all the wiring looks good. Then maybe try puting it how it was before temporarly and seeing if the problem goes away?

i checked it out and one of the grounds out of the pigtail to the maf seems loose... im thinking i might need another pigtail for my n60
