Idle problem, not MAF, T/B, or Air Filter

2006 SE, V6, 80k miles. Here's what happens: I'll be driving around fine, and then when I sit in park with the engine running, about 3 minutes in the rpm's will dip from 750 to liike 700 and the truck will begin to shake. After this goes on for a couple minutes, the front end lowers, no idea why. It never quits, it just shakes on and off. Threw a CEL, so I gotta get that read. I'll post when I do.
Just cleaned the MAF, throttle body, and changed the air filter. What else could this be?

I haven't done the EGR yet only because it looks like a pain to get to. I think I'm going to try some easier things first (that probably need to be replaced anyway) like the MAP and the PCV valve (even though I have no idea where it's located after looking at diagrams for an hour, see my post in tech section).

Rather than spending $$ on a new valve. I would try unbolting it from the manifold & exhaust pipe and use carb cleaner to clean the valve from all the carbon buildup.

i'll bet you have a vacuum leak somewhere. Start off by looking over all your vacuum line connections, giving them a gentle tug to make sure they're still tight. A common one is the PVC elbow on many cars. While it's acting up, you could spray a little starting fluid around the connections to see if your idle momentarily increases. That's a dead giveaway. you can buy me a beer if I'm right 😎
