Idle sounds ok. It's very wierd it does it everytime I drive it but goes back and forth. I'm not gonna drive it until I figure it out. Scared I may do damage

I bet it your mass air flow. Go to autozone they will look up the codes for you

I had a Caddy that done that. $100 MAP Manifold Air Pressure sensor fixed it right up . It was doing exactly what you are describing.

Also my egr valve and such have been removed.
I also have a vac line that has been unhooked since I got the car I cant find where it would go. It's the first nipple from front connection off the intake on drivers side

Ok guys I figured it out. I started checking my fuel injectors and such. And I found I had a loose connection on one of my injectors. So shes good now. Thanx for all the help.
