Car Idles very rough, Used to be able to make it smooth out by putting electrical load on engine like headlights....Now headlights isnt a big enough electrical load , ONLY thing that smooths out the rouhg idle is the radiator fan kicking in. Already changed Spark wires, and dist.cap..any ideas will be helpful! Thanks

Is it low or surging? Can you define rough?

Hmmm lol, I already know its not low and its not the AIC. Its a sputtering/miss sound thats constant out of the exhaust. No surging. Also checked MAP Sensor and its good. And when you sit in the car when its idleing rough you can feel it in the seat even that its vibrating a little. Just a sputtering miss noise out of the exhaust.

it could be that your valves need to be adjusted

Try the "let's get technical" area instead of misposting the JDM area, you'll get more help there.
