Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
 Since you have a scan tool and can check for codes.......can you force the engine to run rich, thus causing a rich code to be set? It almost sounds like you have a internal vac leak that's causing your rough idle problem. Also, you might want to inspect the EGR system and make sure the EGR isn't stuck open/closed.
Hope this helps,
Erik
