When accelerating engine is fine but cruising above 37 mph the engine is rough. I have replaced spark plugs ,cap, wires, 02 sensor and checked all hoses what should I do next? There is like a surge of roughness

Engine running rough or misfiring can be cause by the following:

1.Defective spark plug
2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.
3.Lack of compression
4.False air leakage.
5.Faulty fuel injectors.
6.Insufficient fuel pressure.
7.Contaminated fuel.
8.EGR valve that is leaking.
9.Oxygen sensors.
