Default Rough idle after new spark plugs installed

I AM WRITING BECAUSE MY SON AND I HAVE JUST REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS ON MY 2000 ACCORD V6 3L AUTO - WE USED THE SAME COIL PAKS - THE CAR STARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT ITS RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AT IDLE - WE GAPPED THE PLUGS TO .04 IN TO .043IN - ANY IDEAS ON WHAT WE ARE MISSING - HOW DO WE STOP THIS ROUGHNESS

id say recheck the gapping and make sure they are all the same, or maybe new spark plug wires are needed.....

definitely, double check the gapping...
How much mileage is on the car? May be time to change wires or the dizzy cap and rotor..

Was it doing it before you changed them? If not then obviously its something to do with the plugs or you didn't hook something back up right.
