Default car missing on idle 93 civic lx

when my car is warmed up it misses quite bad on the idle, it seems to run fine when i start driving. i just put new plugs, fuel filter. im thinking it may be the car/rotor, plug wires???? i cant figure it out and it bugs the hell out of me

any ideas?

cheap ignition rotors suck!!!

The plastic breaks away from the metal inset and the rotor wobbles about 1/16" side to side. This causes a miss at idle shortly after a tune-up.

Get the "tune-up kit" (cap and rotor) from honda.
OEM is the only way to go for cap and rotor.

ps I worked at NAPA and would tell people to go to Honda for Cap and rotor and my boss would always get mad at me. Echlin(napa electrical parts), standard, borg-warner, etc all had the same rotor supplier so all of them are JUNK.
