Discuss: Intermittent Engine stumbling/Kick only at idle, Feeling it in the seat Options

What could cause this? What are your ideas.

5s-ge (Soon to be boosted, yea, not a 5s-fe, or 3s-gte) ran great up until the other day when it started to kick and i noticed oil in spark tube 2, small amount in 3. The valve cover seals show no sign of leaking into the plug wells. Gas milage is also ****, probably due to the missfiring in which ever cylinder. Im just curious if this is a chain of issues or if its just due to the oil. Once it gear the stumbling subsides but it still present just not as violent and often. Once you get moving you cannot feel it what so ever, altho there is a small loss of power

Idle@718RPM
Compression: 1-215/2-205/3-205/4-200
Fluids: Full
Tune: Modified 3s-ge OEM programming (-0097, 0.23+, 2.338^)

lol. mstoochn, you ask for help, and Bitter gives you some very plausible things to check and change and you criticize his helpful info? How does that make anyone want to help you?! At least try what he says, i have a very good feeling one of those things will solve your problem.

But since you seem to know it all, you figure it out.

Bitter, i see why you are so....... Bitter. lol. I get it now.
