If it is still running rougher after replacing sparks and plugs then there might be a problem with the coil.

I agree, and in addition I had that model car and I would also check the wires as the engine compartment gets really hot and the wires seem to develop cracks earlier than on other cars. And while you are doing that a new distributor cap would not hurt.

∙ 9y agoWhen something unusual goes wrong with a vehicle always start with looking at the last place it was worked on. In your case double check the firing order, you may have mixed it up. Also check for damaged/cracked spark plugs and spark plug wires. Also check the spark plug gap.
