I would check it out for a vacuum leak. Check specifically for small cuts, rubs and abrasion around the intake. That would cause a rough idle without throwing a code.

checked it out and found that my PCV hose was ripped, also i need a hose cap for my throttle body bypass that was done 2 years ago. How long should it be before I notice a difference?

If that doesnt fix it, anyone got anymore ideas
