Rough idle out of no where

Car struggles to start and when it does it idles rough, struggles to stay running and engine shakes. We previously replaced the distributer + cap + rotor + wires + plugs, the ICM, TPS, IAC and Temp sensors. Car was running good in the morning parked it, came back to start it in the afternoon and was like this. The last work I did was simply remove the PCV and opposite side vent tube in exchange for breathers and capped the corresponding inlets on the intake (Made it run even better). Anyone know what the problem could be, tips what to do?

Can you get a scan (data log)?

'em TPI systems can be tricky to fix without seeing what the ecm/sensors are doing
