Default Rough Idle (exact questions after work ive already done)

I get a little bit of a rough idle once in a while, im not a racer just a guy that loves rex's and wants a nice daily driver.

what do you think are the three main reasons of a rough idle?

ps: i just put in a new fuel pump myself and i have a new o2 sensor but the header heat plate is causing me problems, its sorta rusted heh.

buy new spark plug wires.

that smoothed out my idle after cleaning my injectors, replacing spark plugs and new cap and rotor and setting my timing to stock.
