small miss/Rough idle when warm....
98 SSEI 315xxx kms
when car has been driven for awhile and has reached full operating temp it will idle a little rough every 15-45 seconds not bad enough to stall........... sounds like small misfire but not big enough to through codes any ideas??
new plugs wires new coil packs cleaned injectors cleaned intake/maf

Check your fuel pressure, could be a slow fuel pump or fuel filter. But seeing it does it hot that'* a long shot. I would pull the throttle body and clean it. Also check the PCV and EGR. EGR is a good possibility because it happens when it'* hot.

When testing the coil (there'* a write up in techinfo/testing) try testing with the coils both hot and cold. Warm up a bit in the oven and test. then put in the freezer and test again. Compare the readings. I've seen many coils test good, only to start failing when hot.
Ya I hear ya I think its a common thing for these 3.8 series 2 motors was thing about replace Cam Positioning Sensor next but Im kinda lazy and its not the ezest sensor to change
