hey.
When the engine is ideling, say at 1000rpm, it will idle smooth. But every 5-10 seconds, there will be a gap in the engine combustion. Its like its missfiring once, cause it will be running and then for 1/4 of a second, a no combustion, like the spark is not igniting the fuel.
It also runs pretty rough during the 750rpm idle, so im thinking its one thing, the timing?
Could this be the problem? I've changed the plugs and got high performance wires, so it can't be those. Maybe a problem with the coil? although if it were one of the coils, it probably wouldnt fire at all.
Maybe its something to do with the part of the engine that tells the coil to send spark.. not to sure what that part/sensor could be.

guys, don't shoot flames out of your cats/mouths yet....
idle......
what do we do when we are idle... we stop doing ****
so when the car is not moving.... the engine rest at a certain RPM.... mine is high (don't even ask.... 1200rpm, [rotation per minute])
most other cars are 750-900
remember when the car doesn't move
