hello guys,

my car has a very rough idle, as the car was running I pulled 1 spark plug wire off at a time and it did seem to show all the plugs were firing at idle. What do I do next?

thanks
Gary

sorry about the donation I have been laid of work for a while now.

When the last time you gave it tune-up and do you have a check engine light?

Rough/Misfiring engine could be caused by loss of spark; the air/fuel mixture is too far out of balance to ignite; or loss of compression. Loss of spark includes anything that prevents coil voltage from jumping the electrode gap at the end of the spark plug. Causes include worn, fouled or damaged spark plugs, bad spark plug wires or even a cracked distributor cap. A weak coil or excessive rotor gas inside a distributor would affect all cylinders, not just a single cylinder.
