Vq37 stalling and hunting idle

2014 q50 vq37. Dealing with some gremlins, have an issue where under heavy acceleration the car dies. Have had a few "smoking guns" had water from sunroof drains in the bcm, fixed that. Oil intrusion on passenger side cam position sensor, fixed that with new sensor. Found a few vacuum leaks with smoke machine, fixed that. has had a few repeat codes for maf replaced both maf and fixed wiring issues. Found transmission to have incorrect fluid and material, replaced it and performed relearn. Vehicle was in an accident and had a few things replaced body wise wiring looks havway alright but not great. Customer replaced both cam position sensors and crank position sensor and o2 sensors and cats, all seem to be reading as they should be. Now to the issue that im still having with it, while driving under heavy load wot it dies. Revving it under no load it revs to 3.5-4k and then dies same way. Under light revs to around 2.5k it hunts for a few seconds before slowly settling back down to idle. Performed idle air relearn, have checked continuity to throttle bodies and cam position sensors to ecm, have inspected ecm connector. Still having same rev and die issue. No codes other than when it dies for cam and crank position freeze frame shows nothing of use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Vq37 with stalling and hunting idle

2014 q50 vq37. Stalling while revving or under heavy load. Dealing with some gremlins, have an issue where under heavy acceleration the car dies. Have had a few "smoking guns" had water from sunroof drains in the bcm, fixed that. Oil intrusion on passenger side cam position sensor, fixed that with new sensor. Found a few vacuum leaks with smoke machine, fixed that. has had a few repeat codes for maf replaced both maf and fixed wiring issues.

Update: currently hunting down ground issues and possible alternator issues, during a data log, which ill try to attach, found ecm to see 17+ volts just before the stall. Will update as issue progresses.

Update: Update: Live data of ECU showed 9v at idle. When rev to 5k to where it would die. ECU showed 17v.

Battery voltage tested via meter read 14.4 the entire rpm range

Checked ground wires to ECU 123.124.127.128 smallest connector. All were okay

Checked power wire pin 125 in same connector. It was 9v when it’s supposed to be 14.4

Followed wire back to fuse 38 on the ipdm and it was blown.

The maf is also on that circuit so I suspect the poorly spliced together maf wiring may have shorted or touched any other wire.

She’s running good so far
