Default rough idle, hard starting

My 89 cherokee 4.0 has recently starting idling rough, I tried tuning it up and it does run better but it still idles a little rough. Along with that it kind of hard starting and in the haynes manula it says its due to a weak ignition,
anybody have any idea which part they may be refering to?
Also, my plugs were black from it obviously running to rich, okay fine but how do you adjust the throttle body?
Thanks,
