Rough Idle

Have you read the codes yet? You may have a vacuum leak, get a can of spray throttle body cleaner, spray the vac lines and maniflod area, when the idle changes, youve found the leak! You want the engine running and spray on the outside but do direct the stream onto the hoses, if it is a vacuum leak, the engine idle will change speed, then you have detected a leak, repair the vacuum leak and see how it runs!
do this and count the flashes...Count the flashes, a 22 will flash as 2 flashes then a short pause, then 2 flashes, if more than one code is stored, the pause will be longer. The codes will display three times and end with 11 or 111. Write them down and post here. First do this with the ke on engine off, then again with it running.

The difficulty I am having is I cant seem to find your engine in a 95!?

If your DLC(data link connector) looks like this, read em this way.

EQUIPMENT HOOKUP Using Analog Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) 1) Turn ignition off. Locate Data Link Connector (DLC). See Fig. 1 . Connect positive (+) lead of VOM to PCM STO terminal at DLC and negative (-) test lead to engine ground (GND). See Fig. 2 . Set VOM to 0-20V DC range. 2) Connect a jumper wire between ground and PCM STI terminal of DLC. See Fig. 2 . Using Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) Check MIL operation. Turn ignition switch to ON position. If MIL is on, MIL circuit is okay. Go to next step. If MIL is off, go to CIRCUIT TEST MIL. After performing CIRCUIT TEST MIL, return to this procedure. Connect a jumper wire between ground and PCM STI terminal of DLC. See Fig. 2 . Using Super Star II Tester 1) Turn ignition off. Connect color-coded adapter cable leads to Super Star II tester. Connect service adapter cables to vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC). See Fig. 1 . 2) Connect Super MECS Adapter (007-00049 or 007-00052) between adapter cables and vehicle DLC. Slide adapter switch to EEC/MECS position. Slide Super Star II tester switch to EEC/MECS position. Using New Generation Star Tester 1) Turn ignition off. Connect power cable and data cable to scan tester. Connect Rotunda Super MECS Adapter (007-00052) to scan tester data cable. 2) Plug matching connector on Super MECS adapter into vehicle DLC. Slide switch on Super MECS adapter to PCM position. Plug power cable on scan tester into cigar lighter or use battery adapter. Using Aftermarket Scan Tester Follow manufacturer's instructions to hook up equipment and record trouble codes. Fig. 2: Identifying Data Link Connector Terminals Courtesy of FORD MOTOR CO. NOTE: After performing equipment hookup, follow appropriate quick test procedures based on type of equipment being used. See QUICK TEST.

Inspect and test the MAF and TPS sensors and also check the EGR valve and clean out the IACV

They are a little on vibraty side, but should idle poorly. Does it run rough, or just have a vibration?

Three suggestions: try an air induction service. Cleaning the throttle bore and intake valves.

Check for the fuel tank to be loose enough for there to be play in the straps.

Check for a bracket/brace touching the transmission pan.

I assume the engine is performing okay.

Hello,

Ok, you replace the plug wires, what about the Plugs themselves?

Oh, also check for vacuum leaks.

Ok, is engine light on? If so get codes read and post them.
Also, FYI, Just because a plug looks in good shape doesn't mean it is working properly. I have seen plugs that have cracked were the ceramic meets the metal and the spark is jumping to ground causing a misfire and a rough running engine.

Another possibility is the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor.

Yes, it could be the EGR. I start with the simplest possibilities first with a rough or misfiring engine condition.

I mensioned the MAF cause it can easily be cleaned with some MAF Cleaner. You can also disconnect it, the computer will go into a default mode and your vehicle will run normally.

And since you brought in the EGR, it could also be the EGR Control Solenoid or the EGR Pressure feedback Sensor.

Other possibilities are.

Exhaust Leak

Faulty Injector

Weak Fuel Pump

Blown Head Gasket

Is the engine light on? If so get codes pulled will help narrow the field.
