There is no misfire codes for this vintage truck. There is no way for the computer to detect that.

You replaced the wires, but what about the spark plugs, cap & rotor?

plugs yes but not cap and rotor.. i also cleans the AIC valve and the entire intake system and it didnt fix the rough idle... one thing i did notice is that the rpms increase every seconds or couple seconds when the a/c is on primarily
