Exclamation rough idle

Hey guys, I have an 1994 jeep grand cherokee laredo with the 4.0. It seems to idle rough but I haven't figured out why yet. I have a cold air intake throttle body spacer magnaflow exhaust accel super coil with new wires plugs distributor cap and rotor. Just did the coil plugs wires and distributor cap today hoping it might solve the problem.....it got a little better but I can still feel it....any suggestions on why it might idle rough???

What did you gap the plugs too? You have the correct firing order? Any Cels?

You should take off your TB and clean it as it probably is dirty. See if that helps.

What about your IAC? That one gets a few jeepers on here. Search it. I've seen write-ups on it here or elsewhere. It will give you a good heads up on what cleaners to use, techniques & what to look out for. Its cheap & easy also. Good luck & keep us posted. Keep searching 'rough idle' to see what others think & have tried.
