Default rough idle

Hi guys,
Ive replaced my plugs and regulators but still notice a kind of "rumble " rough idle with a slight decrease in RPM's at idle sometimes.
Any ideas or has anyone else noticed this type of thing?
TIA

It's hard to identify what you're describing over the internet...
I do suggest though disconnecting your MAF(Mass Air Flow sensor) and cleaning it with special CRC MAF cleaner. Let it dry for 10 min,then install and see if there's any improvement...
What are regulators BTW? Coils?

Do a search for "uneven idle" or the like here and on 6sp. You will either find your answer or be better able to describe your particular issue.

disconnect MAF and see if it smooths out. if so, that's your problem - clean MAF. if not, probably coils and/or plugs.

Check oil cap and gas cap first.

Also wanted to mention that issues related to Bore Scoring or Cracked Cylinder can cause uneven idling.
Something not really discussed but 997S I wanted to buy a couple years ago had bad idle and was determined via Bore Scope Inspection had a cracked cylinder

Throttle body reset procedure via the key worked for me to sort this same issue. I did it yesterday and the car has been amazing since.
