I changed the valve cover gaskets on my car. In the process, I bent the egr valve while trying to remove it. After I finished replacing the gasket. I cleaned the engine at a car wash. The car has be idling very rough since then.

1. Defective spark plug
2. Inadequate spark/coil, defective spark plug wire.
3. Lack of compression
4. False air leakage.
5. Faulty fuel injectors.
6. Insufficient fuel pressure.
