N52 dying on cold start

Z4 with an N52. Idle would fluctuate on cold start and at the bottom of the rev it would die. Starting right after or when warm does not have this behavior. This used to happen without it dying but now it does. Smoke tested the manifold and valve cover, didn’t see anything. Smoke tester would pop off the throttle body because of the pressure. Valve cover holds vacuum.

Things I installed:
MILVs
Three stage intake manifold
Carb legal headers
Oil cooler adapter

Things I replaced:
Valve Cover
Spark Plugs
Coils
Valve cover/manifold hoses
Water Pump
Alternator
Belt
Belt tensioner
Starter
Upstream/downstream O2 sensors
VANOS solenoids
