Rough idle continues after valve adjustment

Rough idle continues after valve adjustment
Hi friends, I'm back with a new problem
2008 Sport automatic with 58k miles (yep, very low). This week in Chicago, temps dropped into the 30s, and the Fit started idling rough - little jolts / stumbles. It does this on cold start and doesn't improve when warm. Once moving the engine seems perfect - just an issue with idle. I bought the car this summer and this is the first time this has happened.
I've poked around this forum a lot, and based on these symptoms and mileage, I had the valve adjusted today. Both intake and exhaust were significantly out of spec (my mechanic was pretty surprised by how far out they were).
The engine audibly sounds better and feels great when driving, but the idle is exactly the same as before - no change.
I had the plugs replaced when I first bought the car (Denso Iridium).
Where should I look next?
Thanks!!
