98 3.8l rough idle + stalling + blower = ?

Hi guys - first time posting, this is a great forum. I bought a '98 Windstar about a year ago and been having problems with rought idle and it has stalled a couple of times already. from what i've rad in this forum i beleive the problem might be a vacuum leak somewhere around the intake manifold or one of the vacuum hoses. It might also be a bad EGR valve or DPFE sensor or clogged EGR ports / fuel injectors. Last week i noticed that when i turn on the interior fan (blower) and set the temp. to cool the rough idle stop would stop and the van would run OK. I know that there is leak somewhere because when i accelerate i hear it clearly. My question now is; what is connection between the heater/fan and the rough idle. I need to have my inspection in about a month and help from you guys will be greatly appreciated.
