Rough/Skipping at Idle
Recently my 1995 with 63,000 miles has developed a slightly rough, but noticable idle both by sound and feel.
The car appears to accelerate (from mild to WOT) just as smoothly as always.
Only at idle is there a abnomaly.
What should I look for?
Thanks!

If your plugs and wires r in good shape,
You might want to clean and check the TB/IAC or replace the IAC if need be.....
Also the owners manuals says to idle the car at 2k for 2 mins to clean the O2 Sensors if u notice a Rough Idle.

Re: Rough/Skipping at Idle (cOvette)
I've only checked the passenger side wires for resistance (they are OK). The drivers are so hard to get too. I am contemplated changing the plugs and wires even though they are susposed to be good for 100,000 miles.
I'll try te 2K idle and check out the TB and IAC.
Thanks.
