Could this be a weak fuel pump or something is clugging the fuel line? To me it sounds like its barely getting any gas.

does the car idle at 1000 even after it is warmed up? When it is warm does the idle surge or anything like that? I would try cleaning the egr valve. It sounds like could maybe be a vacuum issue. does the car drive fine? Cleaning the egr is free minus the parts cleaner spray. And it may be worth a shot. The egr valve will most likely only to cause problems at idle though.

Yeah I believe it idles at 1000 even after warmup, see I figured it might not be a misfire because I thought a misfire was alot worse then that? and I can clean the egr, thats no prob

to which question? lol. Idk its a little hard to hear the idle but it kinda sounded like it was pulsating like it would with a vacuum leak. Am I right? If so try cleaning the egr and see if it helps any.

Try that before you spend money trying to replace all of the sensors and etc. just to try to get it right. Also maybe try searching the web for possible causes of the symptoms your car has since you can hear it in person you can probably Id the symptoms better than we can from the video.

So I took my car around the block to get a "feel" for it, my SES light popped on so im asking around to see if anyone has one I can borrow. Dont have the money to be spending 250+ dollars on it

That should help you narrow the problem down. Hope you can find someone with a scanner to use. Maybe ask around at local shops. Some privately owned places may be willing to hook it up for ten or twenty bucks. If you do let us know what code/codes come up.
