Idle 96 C220

All of a sudden, my C220 would not stay on idle. It starts fine but when I let off gass it dies. I wasn't sure what was causing it, I thought maybe bad gas so I added HEET last night. Started it this morning and it seems to stay on but barely. I drove around and seems to continue staying on.

I did spray the MAF with brake clean but that did not show any improvement.

If there is water in the tank, I'm hoping that it will continue to diminish. The tank is 3/4 full.

Wiring harness was also recently replaced with a new one.
