Hello,

There are a number of reasons why an engine can have rough idle or misfire.
It could be due to ignition issue, fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, vacuum leak etc.

Take a look at this guide. It covers the usual issues.

Are you getting any error codes? Is the check engine light on?
If the engine light is illuminated, scanning, and retrieving the code(s) can help with the diagnostics.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
