possibly a bad fuel injector. Try some fuel injector cleaner. Add it to the gas.....it can't hurt I would suggest a bottle of Techron, you can get at Walmart or most auto stores. It's the best I have used. It could also be a broken plug wire, a plug wire that may have come off the end of the spark plug, a dirty fuel filter, clogged or dirty air filter, dirty throttle body, a Vacuum line may have come off ....just a few things that may be causing it also.
Why does my 2001 kia sportage idle rough?
low idle and uneven idle
Your 2000 4.8 liter Sierra might run rough at an idle because of clogged fuel injectors or a clogged fuel filter. You might also have gotten water in the gasoline.
check the idle control valve not that hard to replace and inexpensive
What causes a car to idle good and run rough when you give it gas?
If the 2000 Kia Sportage has an emission control icon on the dash and the vehicle idles rough, it is probably the oxygen sensor that is the problem. It could also be that the air filter is dirty and needs to be changed.
Vacuum leek
i think it causes bad/rough idle

MAF senso, or transmission fluid.
