Car hesitates slightly at idle

My car hesitates slightly at idle. Hard to explain, it runs fine, and then it seems that it's lacking a bit of air and seems to hesitate, then it's ok, then it hesitates a bit, etc. It's barely noticeable but it drives me crazy. What could it be?

Pour 5oz seafoam in intake manifold, pour 5oz seafoam inside gas tank (find and follow proper seafoam procedure) and then smoke the half of your county up to make your car runs so quiet just like a hooker in an important meeting.

DO AT YOUR OWN RISK BY THE WAY.

Kryogen,

You are being a Jewish mother to your car. Every little perturbation commands your anxious attention. You are going to make your Max neurotic!!

dont pour "seafoam" into any hole in your car.

diagnosing a driveability problem without actually driving the car is pretty difficult.

take it to a mechanic.

I believe my slight obsessive compulsive personality is well suited to a dentist. I'd rather have a dentist that is crazy about details and perfection than a dentist that doesnt care. I treat my car like my patients. I want it perfect, not "ok". Thats the way I am and thats the way I work.

I am an anxious person. There's nothing I can do about that.

I'll take it to the dealership since tranny is giving me trouble too, and it's under extended warranty anyway.

Thx.

Hey, Kryogen, I was just kidding! I'd let you work on my teeth...Better to try for perfection than do a sloppy job.

I guess you just started out, cause from the stuff you post to how you post I thought you lived at home, and was playing around with your parents car
