Rough idle fixed!
This could be more like technical Q&A department but I just wanted to tell you that my rough idle got fixed recently.
 I tried everything that I could think of and still the rough idle was there. I did MAF cleaning, add fuel injector cleaner, check Vac hose, cleaning throttle body...Those helped slightly but not completely. I finally took my car to the shop and the mechanic only took 2 sec to figure out what was wrong. The EGR hose was the one. It was cracked and disconnected. After spending couple hrs of myself facing to Engine, I must had been blind......  So he put it back where it was supposed to go, but recommended to replace the hose, so I did it this weekend. So my rough idle mystery is over. It runs like heaven now.... and it only cost less than a buck! So if your car's idling is rough but not all the time, I'd suggest you to check EGR hose once..... Off the topic, but I got 2 flat tires right after the EGR hose replacement.....  Somebody left metal pieces on the road. I managed to get to the tire shop near my place and got Bridgestone Potenza tires, I love those tires. My "backwards" rims got fixed as well. Right after I got out the tire shop my tail light bulb went out.. I got new one. Hope it was the last thing I had to fix these days..

That may be a problem with my car, where exactly is the EGR valve? I have replaced 3-4 of the hoses, but I am not sure if I replaced that one.
