Forgot to mention it sometimes stalls at stoplight and once in a while hesitates.Service engine light only comes on sometimes not all the time,does seem electrical but connection to maf sensor seems ok.Thanks

You could try pulling the MAF sensor and cleaning it with alcohol and a q tip very gently. The wires are the sensor and if either break, the sensor is bad.

Vaccuum leak
Well , took off EGR and cleaned it up really good seemed like one pintle if thats what it was called was not moving well,really dirty,reset code so far so good drove around for a bit.
Another question ,been looking for vaccuum leaks and couldnt find any not just for idle problem but because of heater not working good,anyways I found a air hose disconnected which I think was for headlight washer behind left headlight, is this an air line as it is black hard pipe hose with rubber elbow like the other vaccuum hoses.Also will this be counted as a vaccuum leak.thankyou much.

Sounds like a vacuum line that needs to be connected to your charcoal canister. Can you take a pic?
The idle and stalling will most likely be fixed by removing the TB and cleaning it and the IAC.
