My car is running really rough near idle. I have already tried the following:

-Clean the EACV
-Check timing
-Used known good dist.
-Reset ECU
-I had broken my TPS so i got a new TB w/ good TPS.

After driving at one day I got a CEL for the Map sensor. Could my Map sensor be bad?
I was also thinking...could my plug wires affect idle? I got crappy Autozone ones....i figured temporary.
My plugs look good too.

I'm going to advance my timing a bit and see if that helps, maybe also screw w/ the idle screw.

Check the map sensor theory first before you advance your timing or mess with the idle. If its bad then buy a new one or go to a junkyard and find one there.

Ok, so I think the Map actually works. I figure this because if i disconnect the electric connecter the car dies immediately.

The car idles...rough...but it stays on after it gets warm. I guess I'll try to get someone w/ a known good EACV and Map sensor.

Also might want to verify the TB gasket is in good shape, as that could be another source of a vaccum leak. (Just found that out the hard way last month).
