check the FITV behind the manifold should have small coolant lines goin into them, open it up, should be a white screw like deal, screw it back, sometimes they back itself out.

my freind had a rough idle problem and it was fixed by adjusting the timing at the dizzy... than it got worse so we looked at the timing belt and it was off a couple teeth.. fixed it and now it runs great
