replacing the plugs and wires shouldn't have an effect on the idle speed. make sure the wires are all ran to the right spot on the distributor for the correct cylinder. or maybe one wire isn't connected well. if one isn't connected well enough the cylinder would fire weak or not at all causing a knock sound
