So I have replaced the TPS sensor IAC thinking it was fuel injectors, but I read your post about putting washers in. Did you put them between the frame and mount?

Good morning,

Have you replaced the spark plugs? Rough running is most commonly caused by worn ignition parts.

Compression test would be next to be sure there is no internal engine damage.

Check for any vacuum leaks, broken or disconnected hoses as well.

Is the check engine light on?
