Hi ramzga, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation and selecting us as your auto repair site Feel free to ask questions at anytime and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2010

Sounds like the EGR is getting vacuum when not suppose to at idle its cracking the valve open and diluting the A/F mix casuing it to run rough-Try cleaning it out and also check if the Vacuum switching valve/thermal vacuum switch are functioning correctly.

Stick a vacumm gauge on the vac hose if you getting vacuum, you have found your problem
