Default Rough Idle

I have a 98 6 speed with 50K miles. When it reaches operating temp, it has a noticably rough idle. I just replaced the stock plugs and wires with Taylor Thundervolt wires and Delco platnium plugs. The idle is exactly the same. I burn BP 93 octane and I have run a couple bottles of injector cleaner through it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like your MAF sensor is gooped up. Have you considered cleaning it? What kind of air intake?

I didn't know you could clean them. Have you ever done it? It has stock air intake.
thanks a lot!

Check for air leaks, vacuum hoses not completely installed on TB or MAT sensor not plugged into air coupler.

Look for cracks in your intake setup.

Just some ideas.
