Unhappy 2000 Astro-more trouble

Not sure!!
Sometimes it feels like the engine stumbles or misses. I can feel a little miss just above idle. Had a fuel pump problem and had to replace it about a month ago. Just before that I put new plugs in. The cap and rotor looked ok so I just cleaned them up instead of replacing. Could this problem be the cap and rotor? I let my mechanic friend take it for a drive, he thought it might be the transmission, but I am not convinced of that at all. I don't think it had this problem at all until the plugs and cap cleaning. This thing is nickle and diming me big time!

Any check engine light? If no, go have the codes read at an auto parts store anyway. Might have a burnt out bulb.

I replaced the fuel filter at the same time as the fuel pump. Used an ACDelco fuel pump. I put in new AC spark plugs, but only cleaned the cap and rotor.I know the sec light works because it was just on for a evap problem with the gas cap. The stumble seeems to be the worst at take off from a stop.

Had time to work on the 2000 today. I replaced the cap and rotor, and it took care of my problem. Won't ever try to clean one again. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Just think, a mechanic thought it was a transmission problem!
