Just an update, opened the hood to check the oil and found that the engine cover and one large air hose (the ones on each side of the engine cover) was not installed properly after my last oil change, this is when my problem seems to have started, the engine cover was sitting at an angle and quite loose
could this have been my problem

 

In a word "yes!" The engine cover was letting air get in to the throttle body without going through the air filters. This would cause rough idle and possible poor throttle response. Glad you caught the problem early.

 

thank you for your reply, for the life of me I don't understand how the service dept could let this happen, guess I will have to check it after next oil change, the problem has not occurred since I reinstalled the engine cover, I will keep my fingers crossed

 

really?! hahaha
