Are you seeing any loss of coolant? If yes, it could be a blown cylinder head gasket. A leak test is necessary to rule out other leak sources.

If no coolant loss and rough running, the more likely reasons are spark plugs, wires, distributor cap (if applicable), or rotor.

Problem could be but is less likely to be fuel delivery.

More info needed. Does the idle smooth out after engine fully warms or stays rough all the time? Does car accelerate OK w/ no noticeable loss of power?

good luck

Is it a '96 or '97 TL?

If so take it in and get it checked, the emissions warranty will cover most powertrain issues
