Default Rough Idle

Today when i was heading to school, i noticed my truck was rumbling a little and vibrating, when i idle it is a little rough and it goes away after i start moving, at first i thought trans problem, but the trans feels fine. Any ideas? Maybe missfire? Maybe dirty plug? No CEL

Your talking about having a stealership do it and at 430$ they better be doing all plugs and all coil packs along with another set of plugs. Plugs run like 20$ maybe for all 8 maybe 30$ not 400$!!!

Do a search for "sparkplugs" on the forum.
