this is the car I just purchased - '93 TA, 108k original miles, and been sitting the last 3yrs or so

in park, it idles just fine - no issues whatsoever

in drive, when I come to a short stop (redlight, stop sign, etc), it idles fine

however, last night I got stuck in the drive through behind a hungry heifer who wanted to argue with the Taco Bell window employee so I sat for several minutes
the car would miss every 10 seconds or so... rpms held fine, no sputtering, etc, just a slight miss in 10sec intervals

is this a seafoam, plugs/wires, airfilter fix or should I start saving for a new opti?

TIA

Sounds like the infamous random/multiple misfire. My cars been doing it for 2 years.

mine does that too....nothing major just a skip every once in a blue. I wouldn't worry about it, but plugs, wires, and seafoam won't hurt anything.

ehhh, should be a good thing to do after the car's been sitting as long as he says. and I'd think it hurts the knuckles more than anything...lol

If you can't afford a cheap set of plugs and wires and a single can of seafoam you shouldn't own an LT1.

my car does that too. everyone I've talked to says it's nothing to worry about.
