My engine occasionally misses on slow exceleration.. as well the idle is rough sparodically...other times it runs great, but is getting worse
My 1993 caprice had the same issue.
Would it happen to down shift out of overdrive on the slitest incline.
if so, one of your plugs is missing under load. Mine turned out to be a wire.
Testimonial: "thanx expert... the plugs are newish , so i'll try the cap and rotor and the wires..hopefully that will fix the problem"
U have a vacuum leak. It could be in the break buster.
It can be issue
with IAC( idle air control valve) causing the problem.

are many other possibilities causing these idle issues.Engine idles rough.
