am I being paranoid? 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.
