I brought a vs calais for 700$. And it has a really bad miss. It has been sitting for over a year. I dumped 3 bottles of engine flush and done 2 services on it. Flushed the old oil out. Done a cheap oil service and flushed it again then used some decent oil. It made it run alot better. What can I check to see if I can fix the idle.

+ Checked the error codes?
+ Does it do the same thing if you hold the throttle open slightly? (~2000rpm)
+ Changed plugs ?
+ Checked leads resistance and checked for any corrosion on the coil pack posts?
+ Replaced fuel filter? maybe there might be some crap stuck in it, starving the engine of fuel

Hope those help you out.

Ignition and fuel system check. Check engine management system also.

Clean throttle body and IAC valve. Check for oil residue in plenum runners for 5 and 6 cylinder, PCV valve could be fingered.

Sounds like an exhaust leak by what you just said.

Firstly I would make sure your plugs are the same and then as Kbagz said check your IAC I had a vey similar problem and it was from years of **** built up in the Idle Air Control Valve so I got some carby cleaner and blasted the **** out of it and havent had the problem since
