Yes, as soon as the car is put into park it idles 80% better, not quite perfect but MUCH better. It will idle at 700-800 in park, 500 or lower in drive with the brake on.
ANY IDEAS?!?!?! (Sounds like you are thinking of something
Take an inductive timing light and see if each plug fires (flashes strobe). I would change the plug wires next if they don't all fire, after you look at the plugs. Also, you could have a cracked plastic vacuum line somewhere.

DING, DING, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
After driving the car around with it running like general poop it FINALLY threw a code. Had it read and it stated a misfire on cylinder #4.
More like no fire on cylinder #4. The plug wire was not fully seated on the coil pack and it wasn't sparking very well. Played around with different wires on the #4 "port" of the coil pack and it was sparking fine. Upon inspection of the #4 wire thier was some dirt not allowing a strong connection. Cleaned #4, and the car ran like a champ.
