Clean the throttlebody next, check out the FAQ section please. Cracking the throttle open a little lets a little more air into the engine, a clean TB should do that by itself, did you plug everything back up (IACV), did you even disconnect anything????

ok i will try cleaning the throttle body. the only thing that i unplug was some vacuum hoses and injectors. i was thinking could the dirt that i clean off the egr ports go to the egr and make the valve stick open???

The EGR ports are downstream of the throttle body, and the EGR valve is upstream of the EGR ports themselves. You didn't affect the throttle body or the EGR valve by cleaning the EGR ports, you just made issues further up the intake tract more apparent.
