My list was in order of things that made the most difference to the idle, in my experience.
What's nice about the K&N is that you don't have to unscrew those little plastic screws every 15000 miles and risk stripping them. The filter is good to 100,000 miles. I cleaned it at 50,000 miles.
Nice tip about the Delco plugs, I will give them a look. I had a bad experience with Bosch Platinum plugs and have stuck with NGK since.
I agree that messing with CO is dangerous ground, unless you have a CO meter. I usually take it to a shop unless I'm in a bind. To get the car running once, I tweaked it using a vacuum gauge to get the highest vacuum at idle. It idled sweet, but was running rich once put on a meter.
