Default Idle Miss...

Almost everytime i stop at a light it starts missing and I have done my plugs and air cleaner, so any ideas of what else?
Should I change the Map or the egr?
I am planning on changing the cables this weekend and was also going to do a Comp..check just to see what the cyl. are running at.
The truck is a 05' 5.7 hemi

( There have been no codes come up )

What did you gap the plugs to? I know you think it's a miss but can you explain exactly what it's doing...could be something else.

Unhappy

I guess during idle it lopes every so often...feels like it is in need of a major tune-up.
I am using NJK plugs and did the gap at .45 and torque to 14 ft. lbs

If it does, that's the problem lol

I'm honestly not 100% sure, these motors are new to me.
