Why is my car idling rough and dieing when stopped

What is your question?

My ac compressor pulley broke off. It's spun on compressor until finally breaking off under the hood. Throwing lots of plastic all over the front of the motor at that time the engine started idling rough when stopped. Have had compressor replaced car is still idling rough and dying at stops now changed VCT solenoid mass air flow sensor nothing changed. Starting to die immediately when start and run rough the whole time dieing every now and then while cruising. No codes

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Was everything working properly before the AC breaking? Without any trouble codes, it's hard to have clues as to what's going on to cause the problems. You'll need to check or proper air coming to the intake manifold, proper fuel delivery and proper ignition spark. It's possible a wiring connector or harness could be damaged from debris - it'll be important to check all those. If the problem had not occurred but now is, then it would seem to have to be related to damage from the compressor.
