The basics for a rough idle, check for a leak of some kind, fuel--egr--vacuum. Check and clean anything that has to do with idle air system. Clean throttle bore and around throttle plate, see if it helps.

There is a vacuum leak but I cant find it, when I put it in park you can hear it, then goes away when I press the gas
