    As above all buick V6's miss at idle, they did it when new and they allways will. That's just the nature of the beast. I would say yours allways has but you didn't notice it as clearly as you do now

    For a better idle..and hopefully, a less noticeable one..

    You can try getting new spark plugs & leads

    AND.. You should also clean out ya Throttle body.. When I cleaned mine, it idles very nicely.. There is still that very faint miss.. but.. you can't really notice it, unless you are trying to Hear it
