This vehicle model is known to have issues with the fuel pressure regulator. In most cases the regulator leaks internally causing unregulated fuel to enter the combustion chamber creating a rich running condition (wet and carbon fouled plugs can be caused by this). This will then result in a misfire conditioon with poor idle quality.
