Default terrable idle (video)

well guys i recently did a tune up on my car. plugs wires cap rotor and coil...i have 16 degree timing running 93 octane. the car idles really bad when i first start the car no matter if its warm or cold. it also seems to be really sluggish at speed. the plugs i used were autolite 23's which are platinum...i know people say dont use platinum but i didnt know that at the time...is it that big a deal?...anyway heres a little vid i took of my car idleing right after start...you gotta listen real closely but if you pay attention you can hear the rpm's jumping up and down and the engine moves with it...my engine dosnt sound as bad as it does in the video its just cause its running through a cell phone...here it is...nevermind i couldnt get the video to work in 3gp format

There is a tool you can download for free to convert the 3gp to .avi or .wmv files.
