lean problem with 1994 s10 4.3-help

I have a problem with my 1994 s10 blazer with a 4.3 vortec that has thecpi system. It dose not idle but if I spray starter fuel in the intake hole it will run fine at idle. I have already replace the injector system and check the fuel pressure which runs 58-60 psi. I alsocheck the vacum which is at 17lbs, and the EGR vaule is good and clean, replace mass air senor to. all that is left is the computer but it dose not give a bad code saying its bad, it dose give me a masa air senor code still even after replaceing it. at higher speeds there is no problem.
Anyone know what could be the problem?

94 CPI motor does not have a mass air flow sensor... MAP, manifold absolute pressure, sensor yes.

What is your fuel pressure at idle?

Good fuel pressure. Almost sounds like you have a pretty serious vacuum leak causing a lean condition at idle. More fuel corrects the problem. I would start by checking all vacuum lines over for cracks or breaks.
