id make sure you didnt damage the coils when you changed the plugs...If it runs rough, pull each coil individually to see if it makes the idle worse. If you pull one and the idle stays the same, its that coil/plug.

Check the gap of that plug, then check the resistance of the coil. It will most likely uncover a problem.

it was still doing it so i pulled the 4th coil plug and it stopped... then i plugged it back in and pulled the 2nd coil plug and it did it again...

ive pretty much confirmed the coil plug furthest to the passenger door is damaged..

how, i dont know, i was super super cautious knowing how fragile these parts are.

thanks for the help
