Pulling my hair out. It starts if I keep my foot on the gas, but dies at idle. Fuel pressure is 35psi. Swapped in two other used MAF's that I borrowed from a friend. No dice. I'm lost and need some direction.

IACV is not attached to MAF.

Just for the kicks, I've re-read Poole's GEMS write-up. A very nice piece of work. Dig up the PDF online, you'll like it.

Check the TPS. If it's open at closed throttle the ECU won't know to run the IAC out to idle position.

Arrival - you're doing all the right things; I'm too lazy to think about it now - send me a PM with your email, and I'll send you Poole's PDF.
