car wont idle, unless theres a vacuum leak

so on my crusade of passing emissions, i tried running some denaturated alcohol, which got it down to 64/60, 4 points away from passing. so i headed home and some more and switched out my air filter for my buddies K&N air filter, and whent to increase my timing a little bit more, the car refuses to idle, at all. UNLESS i unplug the MAP sensor vacuum line, then i can get it to idle for a few seconds, but only with atleast 6* advance, 8* it will idle for a good 30 seconds.


every seen/heard of anything like this?
