04 lx rough idle

So I'm trying figure out what is causing my rough idle & how to fix it.
I replaced the spark plugs and the ignition coils - no change.
I'm going to put Lucas in the gas tank today & see if that helps.
I adjusted the idle on the accelerator cables, that's not really working either. Help!
Thanks.

if it was me first thing I would look at would be the idle air control valve. take it off clean it put it back on and see if that helps your issue. Look it up on you tube if you have never done it before, its easy to do. Check to see if there is a check engine light, if so what code is it. good luck.

rough idle
Probably need to nail down exactly what is "rough" about the idle before trying to toss parts at it.
