Is this a job that can be with the car on jack stands opposed to a lift?

My main challenge on the ground would be having to compress the suspension to tighten the control arm properly?
Just followed this video to the detail. Put everything back together. Started car, and it’s giving irregular idle and sound like it’s revving when I’m not pressing the gas. Idk what went wrong. I now have to start from the beginning and retrace my steps. Any suggestions?
Changed tensioner, torqued to 20 nm. Change idler pulley on the passenger side, torqued to 35 nm. Idk what I did wrong. Gonna upload video
Just got code P0505 for idle air control system. I’m guessing something isn’t right when I attached the throttle body back. Maybe the gasket is in need of replacement? I ordered one on fcp it didn’t come with my first order so it’s getting shipped Monday. I don’t know what else the issue could be

Did you connect toe PCV hose correctly? It's the long hose from the PCV at the back of the engine that connects all the way to the attachment next to throttle body.
I don’t think I even touched that part. I know I removed and connected the hard plastic vacuum line that goes into the elbow in front of the throttle body. If that’s the part you’re referring to, then yes. I connected it properly. It was just a matter of putting it back and making sure it’s flushed right? I’m going to take a look at what I did and try to remove what i touched. I don’t know if the gasket on the TB is just old or something else causing this.
P0505 after cleaning throttle body this post have more details of what happened yesterday. Figured I’d start a new post on this because i don’t see any info on W212s only saw info on W211 and the engines are quite different
The end that goes in the TB. Small tear in the lip

Fixed the catch can, still the same results. It revs up high to 2000 rpm then it started choking
Another thing I might add, while I was cleaning the TB yesterday I heard a noise inside exactly like something was shaking inside of it. Like shaking a can of spray paint. Idont if that means something is wrong with the TB but I get no codes for it
I just unplugged the MAF sensor on the air filter box. The surging disappeared!! Only thing is the idle is at 1000-1200 now. It’s pretty steady compared to the last 10 starts since last night lol. Maybe I should grab a can of MAF cleaner and just spray on the sensor inside the air filter?
I just plugged the MAF sensor back into the air filter and the car stalls each time I start it. I removed the MAF AGAIN and the car started up fine.
All this can come from trying to clean the throttle body? Could the throttle body be faulty? I heard a rattling noise inside when shaking it. The gaskets on the intake probably do need to be replaced as the car is on 120k and stuff. Is there anything I can do before removing the intake? Maybe buy a can of MAF sensor and spray they sensor inside the engine air filter? Then buy a can of throttle body cleaner and repeat the process from yesterday?
Is it possible that a little spray from either the degreaser or carb cleaner got on the metal pins inside the throttle body and screwed up the readings?

It’s pretty cold outside and would rather take the small steps in trying to find the problem. Ultimately after this R&R of the TB I will remove the intake and replace the gaskets
I removed the throttle body and cleaned it along with the oil catch can. I didn’t wanna jumble up this post with different jobs so I started a new one right here at this link P0505 after cleaning throttle body
