Default MS3x installed, issues that I could use a second opinion on.

Information about my setup that is relevant:
No vTPS and no IAC

Issues that I have noticed thus far

-Hunting idle. I know its a fueling issue, but I've pretty much made all the idle cells the same number and it still hunts. The numbers in the idle VE table were different, I turned idle VE control off to try to run idle off the normal VE table. Still hunts.

-When I push the clutch in while driving or if I hold rpm at about 4k and let off, the car dies. I know having an IAC would help this, but I havn't run an IAC in years and never had an issue with this when I was running MS1. I assume this is a fueling issue.

-Overrun fuel cut is basically nonexistant even though its turned on and the settings are correct. However I noticed it runs off a TPS reading, and since I don't have one, I could see why it freaks out and/or thinks my foot is always on the gas...which leads me to my next question.

-What should my TPS calibration numbers say? I can't run a legitimate calibration, and I pretty much want MS3 to completely ignore TPS. I tried arbitrary low and high numbers for closed/open throttle and stuff is working better now, but don't know if this is wrong.

-Heatsoak after warm restart = super lean. Car won't even stay running. Even on MS1 I struggled with this. Never figured it out.

Can someone lead me in the right direction on what settings I should be fiddling with? MS3x has infinitely more options than MS1. I feel like I walked into the winchester mystery house.

Well I figured out how to make stuff work with TPS...I think. I set the value so that MS thinks its always at 0% throttle. Overrun works again, fan turns on like normal, etc.

Now I'm running into additional issues. The car idles a bit better but after a couple minutes it starts hunting again. I pinched the MAP line with my finger and the idle stayed rock solid and AFR was perfect. Uhhh...

Also, as soon I use the idle screw to control idle and I set it at 900. If I turn the headlights on, the car dies 75% of the time. I don't understand what is different here, I never had any of these issues with MS1.

Car still dies when I push in the clutch and warm restarts are ridiculous.

Anyone?
