Check intake manifold gasket
very common for it to be leaking

specially if you have unstable idle and stalling
check timing

Yes you are correct
what I meant is to check the timing belt as a reminder

Thanks, but the idle is low from 650 rpm to 600 the problem is after you come to a stop light and idle for 2 mins or more it dies, it will start right back up no problem engine performance is good for a 2.3 when you are driving freeway or city streets just dies after it has idled for a couple of mins I have changed the DPFE and IAC and TPS I am at a lost on this it also had a tune up and fuel filter change
