Well I corrected the problem ,but I'm not sure which or all did the trick. I replaced the EGR valve and sensor, the IAC valve, the MAP sensor, the oxygen sensor and a couple of VAC lines. Oh and I cleaned the throttle body. She has never ran so good. All of them needed replaced all were original equipment and in bad shape.
