Angry 1994 e320 rough idle hesitation

I have a 1994 e320, the problem started after i pumped regular gas in it. then it started idling up and down only when in park or neutral. then after time it started doing it in drive a little. i stayed like that for a while.
I cleaned the intake with intake cleaner, i changed the aprk plugs with the best bosch + 4 plantinums, and no change. i changed the maf then the revving an idling just got faster, but not fluctuating as much. but it really gets bad in drive when stopped, ( looks like i have hydraulics).
the car is still hesitating like crazy, i even tried fuel injection cleaner.
the idle will not settle in the 700 zone, it keeps howing rough idle.
i even checked the egr valve with a vacuum, seems fine.
now i have no check engine light, i did before i changed the maf.
any ideas?
thanks

Wrong plug for this motor.
You want Bosch F8DC4 and for starters, change the plug connectors under the coils.

Do a Search on it w/search feature.

when i bought the plugs those were the ones listed, along with the normal bosch ones, they said they are the best ones on the market.
so you think I should change the rubber parts under the 3 coils? and keep the bosch +4 's? b/c the plugs were pretty pricy also and i didnt have to gap them b/c of the 4 heads. but you do have a point.

Do a Search on Plats in a 104 engine and you will have enough info about their faiulure to fill a NY City phone book..
I repeat..you want the Bosch Supers the el cheapos along with new plug connectors.

Seeing that you are new , I will start the search for you..

thanks man, it all makes sense now. i will change my plugs and boos tomorrow, i called the dealer, they have them. i will just install the bosh platinum +4's in my infinity qx4 97 since they take hte same plugs. i had a feeling it had to do with the ignition system b/c it felt like that kinda rough idle. so i just need the normal bosch non platinum plugs right?

Thumbs down

Right...Bosch Super Copper-Standard plug
F8DC4

104 engines hate platinum...they throw-up if you even mention platinum
