1st, i am sorry to say, you need to replace the plugs to oem coppers bosch or ngks. I had both 4+ platinums and ngk iridiums. Great for modern cars but absolutley not for ours.
I have ngk coppers and will never ever go back to platinums or iridiums.
After you go back to the proper plugs, and it still hunts.
While hunting, use a screw driver and tap on the idle control valve (icv). If she clears up, then you need to remove and clean with carb cleaner and shoot some lube in it. Check the ohms per bentley, if needed replace.
I bet it is the plugs but it will not hurt you to clean the icv, they tend to get gummed up with oil.
