97 Intrepid Idle issue

    1997 ES, 3.5L.

    Observation: At idle it misses a beat once and a while. You can certainly
    feel it and see the RPM drop off but it gets right back to normal. The whole
    "miss" lasts less than 1 second. The plugs/wires were recently replaced and
    prior to this the "missing' never occurred.

    Help?

    i had the same with my 97 3.5 es at 60K or so a few year back
    mine was a (think the right part) the intake plenum gasket back left
    side .
    the dealer guy said it was the few common problems with the 3.5, that
    and the water pump.
    i did it myself not very hard just a lot of parts .
    makes the car stumble under acceleration
    i have over 100k now no problem getting ready to do the pump and
    timeing belt .. have fun

    ken
