idle problem

I have searched on this for a while but haven't found much. I apologize if I just missed it...

I have an 88 pickup with the 22re. It idles pretty good for the most part, but every few seconds it stutters. I replaced the plugs and wires a couple of months ago, the distributor cap about a year ago and just barely did the pcv valve over the weekend.

I know diagnosing these kinds of problems is difficult, so can people start throwing ideas out there for me?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I forgot to mention, it seems like it runs good when it's cold. When it warms up, the "stuttering" gets worse...

Thanks

what do you mean "Stutters" ? Like it will be idling, and then it will just drop down and pick back up and idle fine?

Could be a vacuum leak. I had 2 (caused by my trying to find one originally). They were both with bad gaskets on the intake side.

Spray some carb cleaner at the base of each injector (the rubber seal) and see if it revs up on a certain cylinder.
