1999 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1999 taurus with the 3.0 dohc motor with 145,000 and I am having a problem with it stalling. It will idol really low and just stall out after it is warmed up but it always starts right back up. I thought it was something to do with the mass air flow sensor so I unplugged the entire sensor and it still did the exact same thing. I took it to the auto parts store and it pulled a mass air flow sensor code. I was that it could be a vacuum line but I couldn't find any bad lines.

Unplugging the mass air flow sensor will set a code for a bad sensor
if have other codes like p0174 or so have to check for vacuum leaks
also remove and clean idle air control valve
check PCV valve hose, and manifold gasket
