Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1999 k2500 suburban 130k original miles, great shape well kep had for 3 years now.  Has idled rough for 4 months, replaced mass air flow sensor, Fuel pump (cuz it went bad), Pcv valve (shop said was bad) just got it out of the shop $900, and it still drops from 700 rpm to 400 rpm only when real warm. Only after driving for over 15 minutes straight.... Any help would be greatly appreciated ''  It's better (use to drop from 700 to almost 200rpm and lights would dim) but it is NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Thanks

Fuel pressure regulator? Vacuum leak? You do know a PCV valve is a $2 part and can be cleaned with carb cleaner? It hooks to a vacuum line.
