Start off w/the simplest fix....check to make sure you haven't burned a plug wire somehow, & check the plug gaps. If neither of these are the problem, test the coils to ensure they are working properly. Don't assume they're bad & replace them, as they may not be the problem.2001 Onyx Black Camaro M5-Totalled<br />2005 Ford F150 XLT 5.4L<br /><br />\"To make peace, prepare for war.\"

good point, fin.
also, remember that many things can cause rough idle, not just ignition components. one of many problems could be occuring that lead to fuel system malfunctions or you may have a mechanical engine problem.ASE Master, L1, X1, C1.
