They're both systems that control the fuel & air mixture for the engine.
I will say though, unplugging the FPR vacuum line while running shouldn't affect the engine a ton. It'll just mean that the injectors will see higher fuel pressure than normal and you might get slightly more fuel at idle because of it.
You have an imbalance somewhere in the air/fuel ratio. Have you cleaned the MAF? Does unplugging either the ECT or IAT sensor make a difference how long it runs?
At this point, we don't know if it's a computer or mechanical issue, that's what makes it difficult to track down.
