Default unlpug MAF questions

I have a rough idle in my car and I cant figure out why. I unplugged the MAF to see if it runs any different but it doesnt. It actually feels worse with MAF unplugged.
The car had a rough idle when I got it so I changed plugs, air filter, oil, TBB, BPV's. I ran some injector cleaner through the car. Im outta ideas. The car pulls great with no hesitation at all. I just cannot get rid of this bad idle.

Would I need a radio code if I reset(unplug) the ECU? Would this help at all?

Thanx a lot

Default car is stock?

about the radio, you will most likely need the radio code...youre supposd to remove it from the manual, but its usually in there, look for it

You do not need the radio code when you unplug the ECU and not the battery.

Default Yes, car is stock otherwise

It has no chip or anything. It has some stage 1 supporting mods such as the Actuning TBB and the 710N's, because I want to chip and put an exhaust system on.

Also...I have the radio code so I unhooked the negative on the battery for 20 minutes and it didnt ask for radio code. What is going on?? The trip meter didnt even reset. Im lost..

I checked all the IC connections and all clamps just in case, but nothing. Everything is fine. There was some oil in the passenger IC hose but nothing major, was like 2 oz or less.
No lights.

Should I be looking for something else?
