Arrow My car idles like a washing machine

Hye guys seriously my car idles like *****. i read the faq and searched but so far no deal. I adjusted the timing and all it did was change the beat that my car is missing at. Im gonna try the tps this weekend cause my multimter was dead when I tried sunday. I also noticed when i did my compression check that the tips of my spark plugs are brown, could this be contributing?

Other than the tps can you guys suggest anything to help me out?

hah... you got the same problem as me.... my car idles like **** too... I've checked everything over and over again... then to see if it may be a gasket I made my throttle plates completely shut 100% and it didn't die... just kept an odd idle... my guess is you have the same thing... it's probably a gasket.
