So I have a slight problem with my 2.2. For a while now I have noticed that at idle sometimes the car kind of skips a beat, its hard to describe. It doesnt happen all the time, seems when I have the brakes applied sitting at a light is the most common situation. It sounds like the engine is tripping over itself lol It will happen once then be fine for a minute or two then do it again. Its not serious just quite annoying for me. No one else notices it though lol
btw its an 06 2.2 manual. anyone else have this problem, or know what it could be?
Im going to change the plugs as theyre kind of old, might clean the maf while Im at it, just wondering if its a common problem or what?
Any help is appreciated

Not so much stock. Have a K&N short ram intake which is why I'm thinking the MAF is dirty. But I have it out and it really doesnt look like theres anything on it, I will clean it anyways.
Plugs are the next step.
