Default Miss @ idle

Hey guys, i have a 1995 GMC sierra full size truck with the 350.....well it has developed a miss at idle but when its put in gear the miss is gone...So i go in and do the general maintenace, replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor...but the miss remains....I did notice what looked to be a little corrosion on the coil...could that be my issue or you guys think i got a vacumn leak?

hook it up to a live data scanner that can read the sensor values.

mine was babied also!!!!! it had like 140 something or 150k on it one of the 2(its got 169,001 now) but i cheacked out all plugs had good spark thought it coulda been timing chain but didnt check then i asked my dad and he told me too take the heads off and when i did burnt valve out the ***!!! lol so got both heads re-surfaced and all new valves in both of the heads for 500$s, and now that thing runs like a brand new one which it sits under the shed all the time since that happened lol but that could be a good possiblity if all else fails,,, and mine ran fine also only when it was just idiling also u could tell it

You need to lose the Duracrap stuff and get ACDelco. And for plugs....NGK or ACDelco only.
