My car will start, but irregular idle then does. I have had the MAF Sensor, all sensors changed basically. No vacuum leak. Any new ideas?

I would start with a compression test to see if you have a low cylinder. You could have a intake valve leaking.

Here is a guide that will show you how to test it.
