you think you can give me some hints on what can cause a rough idle problem

Try using the search feature on this site, you will get plenty of information.

First pull the spark plugs. Probably might need replacing if they are discolored or fouled.

i have reaplaced the spark plugs and wires.

Are you turbo or N/T?

What did you gap them to?

Check the IAC and the TPS

i am n/t , autozone told me to gap them at .50
