Default Hard idle-ing.

I just bought a 95 RS and the engine has been knocking a little hard when im sitting in the driveway or at a stop light.
It idle's pretty hard and im pretty new at owning an eclipse so im tryin to get all the help i can right now.

I had a friend tell me that it culd be my sparkplugs that are bad and im not getting the power i shuld to my engine.

if it is so what type of sparkplugs shuld i buy, i was thinking about denso iridium or NGK.
My wires are fine form what iw as told.

but if you guys have neways on helping me it wuld be appreciated.

I have iridium plugs, and it's doing better than when it had the stock ones, but it could varry from car to car too.
