1993 Ford Escort 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150k miles

My escort just started this all of a sudden. It idles
around 600 RPM, And appears to be a miss, but its
fine during acceleration. I changed plugs and wires,
and thought I would bump the idle, put it does'nt
look set up to do that. I would really appriciate your
help.
Thanks,
DWillem

Most likely cause is the ISC Idle Speed Control Motor. Located on throttle body near the throttle. Has a wire connector to it and is controled by computer to keep idle. It may just need cleaning so get some cleaner remove and clean out carbon also clean throttle and passageways. If this failes replace the ISC.
