RE: problem: miss? at idle

I've replaced the coil recently(less than a year), so I don't *think* it's
that. I haven't noticed any miss under load. It only happens at idle while
the truck is in gear. It runs perfectly at idle if the truck is out of
gear.
Thanks.

The coil could also be getting weak, and giving an occasional misfire.

Does this only occur at idle, or is there an occasional miss under load as
well?
