No i wouldn't think bad stem seals could cause rough idling. And if they did, oil-smoke from the exhaust would be VERY obvious.

I replaced the coolant temp sensor in mine last year. -Got rid of rough idling and rough running.
-Later i had to replace the entire injection system, but that's another story..
