Re: rough idle 91 3.1

Egr valve might be sticking open, make a block off gasket out of a soda can & sandwich it between the valve & the gasket. Then drive it for a couple of days & see how it goes.
You might have a bad coolant temp sensor, it acts up when its hot. You'll need an ohm meter to check it.
You might have a heat related issue causing weak spark.
Any codes?

Plus check the idle control valve, AIR pump etc. etc. etc. etc. Sadly you'll probably just have to work your way through everything unless you've got specific codes.

Check the fuel pressure & leak down rate, you might have a bad pressure regulator.
