Exclamation 95 GT running rough

I have a 95 GT and it runs a little rough when sitting at stop light. I was wondering if that was timing or something more. Thanx

I would need more info to point you in the right direction.

-cold or hot engine temp.?
-occur constantly?
-mileage?
-MT or AT?
-worse or better when accelerating?

^ yea more info would make it easier, but heres sme easy quick things that affect your idle Check your TB for carbon build up or IACV. Pintle might be dirty. alot of times MAF is dirty.

^^^^^Still a bit vague. But I would clean the MAF(w/electrical contact cleaner), check for any vacuum leaks, replace your fuel filter, check your spark plug wires to make sure they did not hit the header and burn through.
