Not sure what's up with the bundle of wires by the throttle body, or the interesting routing of those red vacuum lines.

Certainly stumbling on tip-in.  Also some hesitation.  It sounds flooded.

Remind me.  Which injectors are you using?

I am running is Bosch injectors off the BMW 325i that Fiero fool had recommended. The bundle of wires is for the rear trunk latch the idiot who had it for me rran them down  on the wrong side and cut all the wires the red vacuum lines are me replacing all the plastic vacuum lines just to try to rule them out not the prettiest thing ever but they don't leak

I can swear I hear a vacuum leak. Does the amount of vacuum I have in that picture I posted seem right for idle at those RPMs

18" sounds about right, but just a guess.  Someone will correct me.

When I dealt with a MAP sensor issue, the car was almost impossible to keep running.  We unplugged the MAP sensor, and it ran badly, but got me home.  I replaced the MAP sensor, plugged it in, and the car ran better.

Fierofool suggested a google search.  Here is the top result.

Anything on the list sound familiar?

The 0208150415 is correct, but that other number doesn't look right.  The other reference number was 13641730060. 

The engine sounds a little like it might have some valves out of adjustment.  Were the pushrods removed for any reason, requiring readjustment?

I took the lifters out in order to put new intake gaskets on it but that's it ran fine before wouldn't understand why it would come out of adjustment but I could check into it
