There can be many causes of a rough idle. But if the engine runs good under acceleration and then idles rough, there are 2 things I would look at. First look to see if you have a vacuum hose disconnected, broken, or cracked. Secondly depending on the make and model, check the EGR valve. This is just the main 2 causes as there are more.
-also rotor and distributor cap arcing - use only original dealer parts
-O2 sensor slow - if it is old replace
-ignition wires old or incorrectly routed
-if gas smell do a fuel pressure leak-down test - should hold 50psi for 10 mins or more. May be pressure regulator or line leaking or bad fuel pump

93 Lexus ES 300 idles rough when idling or stopped at light?
I own a 98 Lexus ES 300. I struggled with the same issue. The problem was the EGR Valve. It is an emission part. The total part and installation was around $300.00. It was a little expensive, but it cured the problem and have not had any problems since then. Hope this helps. Mark
