Being this sounds like the older D2 issue, I would clean the MAF sensor first.

will try that first. didnt really notice the rough idle until i noticed the exhaust leak. could that have affected the MAF sensor??

Probably not, but it is something that just pops up... overtime they tend to get dirty... I would also check your air cleaner.

ok got codes cleared. still had rough idle when at a stop and in drive or rev. decided to check plugs. one side clean, other side lots of carbon build up on all 4 plugs on passenger side. changed out both sides and everything back to normal.

I would replace the O2 sensor (front) on the side that had the carbon build up.
