First, welcome to HAF.

Next, what do you know about the car? Meaning, are all of the tune up items up to date. I see you replaced the plugs and wires but what about the dist cap and rotor?

When you replaced the wires and plugs, was there oil on the end of the wires?

Is the CEL light on? It only takes a paperclip to check for any stored codes on these.

Next on my list, a good cleaning of the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) and the throttle body (TB) only cost the time, a few rags, an old tooth brush and a can or two of carb cleaner.

After the cleaning, there is an Idle Relearn procedure you should follow.

Lets start with those and go from here
