  • rough idle

    When I start the car, it idles high at first which is normal, but then once it idles down and warms up it idles very rough. It vibrates a little and seems as though it is missing. I am putting new plugs, wires and distributor cap on next week sometime, but I was just wondering if there is anything else I should check. Thank you.

    I vote for a bad plug wire. The tuneup will probably fix it; let us know.
