CAR RUNS GOOD, BUT IDLE IS ROUGH. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ONLY HITTING ON 2 OR 3 CYLINDERS.
AND GETS WORSE WHEN HEADLIGHTS AND OR HEATER IS ON. A LITTLE GAS AND THE CAR SMOOTHS OUT. NEW PLUGS AND WIRES, AND
COIL PACK.

Check the intake hoses, especially near the oil stick. I had the same thing happen to me a year ago and it was a small hole in my air intake tubing that caused a rough idle that eventually developed into a major stalling problem.
