I've cleaned the TB, mass flow air sensor and replaced the idle air control valve still doing it now I'm thinking a vacuum leak? intake manifold gasket? When it warms up it idles a lot better.

 






I'd be replacing the intake manifold gaskets. Sounds like they're leaking slightly. Especially when the engine is cold. If it was a vacuum leak(s) elsewhere it wouldn't make as much difference once the engine warms.
 












No check engine light that was door ajar and seat belt, never had a check engine light on.
