Really need help

I have an engine swapped car with a 5.0 from a 90 gt. It has the a9p ecm and a t5 manual trans. The car ran perfect for a long time then randomly it started running a bit rough and a cel came on. Codes are 67, 81 and 82 with a 66 memory code. Besides the egr all the smog stuff is gone. The car starts no problem. When its idling its a bit sporadic but will sometiems level out after a minute but is a bit choppy and not as smoth as it was. The pcm appears to be ignoring the maf sensor completely. If I unplug either the maf or iacv there is absolutely no change in the idle. I checked best i could for vacuume leaks, found one at the hose connecting the pcv valve but fixing it gave no noticeable change. The tps is properly set. I checked continuity on the maf harness wires to the pcm and they are all good. 12v power to maf is good and grounds are good. While idling the maf signal wire is sitting around .95 to just over 1v. I opened the pcm and found 2 capacitors were leaking so I replaced all 3. However the one furthest from the plug leaked to the small 8 pin chip next to it and caused a bit of corrosion. The traces appear to be good but idk if thats causing my issue or not. I have a screened maf housing and its currently setup to have no extra turbulence before the sensor. Im losing my mind over this thing lol. I want to rule out any other possibilities before replacing the pcm because of the price. I tried to find someone local to me in Oregon with one i could test in my car but no luck yet. Any help would be really really appreciated.

Took a quick break from gunpla to build something different

Needed a change of pace so I decided to build this massive 1/32 AMT Tie Fighter. It really is a cool kit with lots of detail. The decals were completely worthless and the quality of AMT models is as low as always but building this has definitely improved my appreciation for being able to snap a kit together and not have to modify or clean up parts just to make them fit together and look proper lol. Overall though I'm really happy with it. I've done a few of the small bandai star wars kits but even with the lower quality manufacturing the size and look of this one blows them away. (Imperial Calibarn included for scale)

Need recs for a display case or box big enough for the PGU Nu

As the title says I'm looking for either a full display case or just a display box that can sit on a shelf that will fit the PGU Nu. Only thing is I don't want it to be in a basic standing pose. With the pose I currently have it would need to be 18 inches in length and width and 24 inches in height. Ideally if it's a full case I'd like to stay under $350 (if that's not possible I'll still take recs for higher priced cases) but every one I've found is a bit too small. I looked in to custom sized single acrylic cases but to get one large enough the price gets insane. I appreciate any help I can get!

RG Hi Nu is complete with regrets

Adding mine to the influx of Hi Nu posts lol. When I got this kit I wasn't feeling like painting a ton so I just did the blues and the gold. Well now that I'm done I wish I had just did the whole thing or at least the silver as well. It still looks good on the shelf but when I look at it I just keep thinking I should have done more. Oh well, lesson learned. Time to get to work on the 1/32 Tie Fighter I've been putting off.

Finished my "Nu" HG Aerial

Never got around to picturing it after doing decals and top coat so here it is. My attempt at Nu colors on the HG Aerial. Yes I know there are other MS that it looks more like but Nu is what I was going for lol.

Finished the assembly at like 2am last night so this is the only picture right now lol Still need to decide if I want to use the Aerial decals or the RG Nu decals and then also decide on a gloss or matte topcoat.
