When the engine is cold the idle is 1000 rpm and the engine runs fine but when it warms up it drops down to 500 rpm and the engine rocks like it has a misfire.

I already cleaned the throttle body and replaced the IAC valve. I also checked for vaccum leaks but it still was rattling an shaking a lot to the point where I could see it but the car is not throwing any codes.

Usually it will throw a misfire code if it's that bad. Check fuel pressure then do compression test
