Have you tried using carb cleaner to check for a vacuum leak? Also, have you checked the idle air control valve?

So ya we checked the sensor and sprayed throttle cleaner and didnt find anything took the air intake off and noticed oil on the driver side around the manifold and a valve seems to be stuck open could this be the problem?

I feel you have a problem with the IAC or a vacuum leak.
