And while it runs rich for longer, it fouls out spark plugs, O2'*, and catalytic converters. Go back to a 180.
Running too rich for too long will affect your idle. I'm also concerned about you using brake cleaner on the MAF. It might be time to swap in a spare.

keep in mind, my explination was short term. pay attention to wren'*. if it has been there for more than a year, that could be the root of your problem.
