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
