I'd remove the throttle body and replace the base gasket for starters. In addition, I'd remove the idle air controller (IAC) in the rear of the throttle body and thoroughly clean the well that the IAC piston extends into. That well in the throttle body is famous for carbon accumulation over time and causes the engine to run erratically.

I changed all that throttle body gaskets intake gaskets come to find out but a line popped off the fuel pump and it was sucking air the one of those lines that's what the problem was
