Default odd rumble from the engine!

Hi just a quick q: I have a 1997 chevy Blazer LS and its got 300k on it, when i am idling like say at a light or something intermittantly the engine does a faint ruble almost like its a slight miss or something, when i accelerate, the engine seems smoothe as hell, can anyone give me an idea as to what this is, maybe A BAD spark plug???

Do you have the front defroster on or A/C? It could be the A/C compressor cycling on & off. It makes the engine runn "rougher" sort of for a few secs.

No need to remove any thing to replace the plugs you can remove them from the wheel well or use a swivel ratchet extension or a plug removal tool
