Dodge Stratus SE 2.4L
I am experiencing rough idling, I have had several mechanics look at this problem and none seems to know why, on advice I have changed MAp Sensor, IAC Motor, Trottle position sensor, fuel pump and filter.
problem still persist, could this be a problem with my EGR Valve?
I am open for help in diagnosing this issue.
I have a P0601 code, but was advice that my idling was not due to this error code, and this problem started before this code showed up anyways.
PLease help.

I had a rough idle last year. I change my plugs, wires and coil packs, no help.
Finely one day I sprayed some chem-tool carb cleaner(any carb cleaner is good) around the throttle body area for a bit and I heard the rpm go up. Tried again, same thing. Turns out a round piece that goes in the fron of the throttle body, held down by a screw had come loose and the screw was gone. Screwed that down and boom, codes went away and idle was great.
So check for vacuum leaks with carb cleaner!
