haha my name is anthony too
whats funny is the day after this started happening, i was just driving it and im like "i wonder if its my maf?" and im just like nah i doubt it and kept thinking about a bunch of other shit it could be lol
but im gonna try to pick up a maf tommarow and see what happens
it would make sense that its the maf because when he unplugged it the car idled smoothley and with it plugged in it kept wanting to dye out somtimes
anyways thanks to everyone that helped out, ill update when i get the new maf

maf didnt fix it
tryed switching the ecu's and that didnt fix it either
all the injectors seem fine
the spark plugs and wires are fine
im guessing its a harness thats frayed or somthing cause some wire harness (idk which one it is) seems pretty messed up, but idk
it progerssivley got worse and worse with being able to stay on, and then today on my way leaving the guys house who i bought the maf and ecu from, my car died out and wouldnt start back up at all, and when it did, no matter how much gas i gave it, it would die out as soon as i would move it
sooo... my friend towed it to the shop with his jeep and were gonna see what they say
i honestly dont even know what to do with my car at this point
thank you to the few who helped me out, i really appreciate it
im still gonna do what i can to get this thing on the road for good because its been 6 or 7 months now and i cant take this shit seeing as its my daily
ill let you guys know what it was if they fix it

If unplugging the Maf made it idle right and rev up to 2.5k then my guess is you maf wires are shorting out somewhere along your harness! I am going to check and see, I might still have an s14 harness laying around, I think its missing one or two connectors but if I find it you can have it....I'll give you a call tomorrow anthony pm me your number again

have u tried raising the idle?
get some cheap wires and just lay some fresh connections to the ecu to see if that fixes the problem.
I still think this could be a grounding issue though. I have seen enough people do swaps and neglect to connect enough grounds which causes crazy/weird/intermittent electrical problems.
