Default 400-500 rpm idle

I have a real low idle and it vibrates kind of funny at idle. do you think it could be a bad wire or plug or what? I just replaced the oxygen sensors.

k well i went to advance auto parts. i have a cylinder one misfire, cylinder four misfire, a random misfire code, and some egr crap. I did the test where you pull out the plugs one at a time and cylinder one does nothing. I'm gonna replace the plugs with ngk platinums when they get them in stock. then wires if that doesn't work. anybody got any other ideas?

I would check plugs and wires first like you seem to be doing. And theres nothing wrong with NGK v-power plugs if they have those in stock. They just dont last as long as the plats. If that doesnt fix it it could be your dizzy. Also, your EGR ports probably need to be cleaned. You can find a write up on it or even look in the factory service manual for exact instructions. The service manual can be downloaded. I think they even have it in the FAQ's on this site.

Good luck.

could also be that your idle needs ajusting...or your timing is off. helms manuals offer a very good explanation on how do fix this

try replacing the plugs first however
