Also, there is a lot more to making a car idle correctly then plugs and wires. Have you checked the following?

TPS
Coil pack
Fuel pressure
IAT sensor
Mass flow
EGR


Have you cleaned your injectors (a real cleaning not the gas tank stuff), throttle plate, IAC and EGR?

Have you checked for vacuum leaks or air bypassing the IAC?

No, because the car runs great after I change plugs. And it ran perfectly before I stupidly changed the plugs. So much for preventive maintenance.
