Find the egr valve on the intake. Look up on the internet what it looks like because it is difficult to describe. There will be one vacuum hose attached to it. Start the car and let it warm up. when it starts to hesitate remove the hose. If the engine holds idle, you need to replace the egr valve. The egr (EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION) valve allows the engine to re burn the exhaust gas when the engine is cold to clean up the emissions at the tail pipe. They tend to get stuck in one position from carbon build up and need replacement.

Rough idle after engine is warm

Dirty air filter, dirty throttle body...try 2 bottles of gas line fuel injector cleaner...has your car been parked for awhile? Heet gas additive will work on any low gas tank sludge that you may have. Hope this helps.

It has rough idle when you first start it then straightens out after warming up

sounds like low compression at start up do to piston slap and not alowing car to warm up over the years before driving off. 3.1, 3.4, 3.5 motor pistons are exact size at operating temp there for cold temps at start up cause the pistons to slap the cylinder wall.. Gm engineers did this to reduce operating temp while driving by lowering friction in the cylinder. problem is most people these days start there cars and take off down the road..my suggesting would be to check piston compersion at operating temp and see if it meets spefications for ur mottor before replacing any other parts...
