Does anyone know the cause of a rough idle?
My delta royale which I recently purchased has a rough idle. The previous owner said he did tune-up 6 months ago. Could it be something simple like plugs or wires or is it something bigger? I should mention that the rough idle is more noticeable when the car is in drive . When its in park I hardly notice it. Should I be worried or should I just leave it alone as it seems to run fine, its that that little things like that bother me.
Thanks for any input.

My experience is check the PCV EGR and O2 sensor people tend not to include those in a tune up.
I replaced my O2 just recently and it idles a lot better.
