Default car missing at idle

Ok, car is a 95 EX automatic and after reaching operating temp and driving it for about 20 miles it will start to miss at idle. Also if I hold the engine at say 1500 RPM under no load the Rs wil start to fluctuate from 1500 to 1200 and back again continusly (sp?). I have no problems with cold start, ignition is all good, vac is a strong 20hg at idle and I ain't throwin any codes sooo... I'm pretty stumped. Any suggestions?

Default Re: car missing at idle (toonces)

i would say it is spark plug wires .... but it is very possible to be a distributor problem ... i had one come in the shop this week like that and it turned out to be a bad pickup coil

Actually that was my first guess but I got the car on the 0-scope and everything looks great.
