Default low rpm miss

1995 55k mi zr-1 engine (perf chip) slight stumble. i've never had anything but smooth strong power since i bought the car, throughout the rpm/speed/throttle range. just recently it has a slight miss just when adding a little bit of gas pedal, around 2000 rpm. doesn't matter much what speed or gear, just happens when running steady state and then slightly increasing pedal pressure, seems a little worse after a few miles driving. no problems at all other modes, full throttle, half throttle, any rpm, valet mode on or off.

where to start? plugs, wires, injectors? do i need a code reader? i want the car to run perfectly when i sell it, i'm just not using it since i retired & main job now is driving wifey around in her sedan or suv. also, i'm working on restoring my dream mid-year

Thanks!!!

Had same issue when i picked up my 95: turned out to be ignition wires
Run a timing light on all wires n see if you can visualize the miss at idle in a dark garage
.....n of course take the easy way out n start with plugs then wires n last coil packs
Wires tend to screw up even more when you throw water mist on them
Injectors are more than likely NOT the culprit ...you hope...

Mine recently had the same symptoms,
Fuel pumps solved the problem.

thanks for those suggestions! wonder if lack of driving caused the problem, i probably haven't put on more than 100 miles in the last 2 years, many months none at all

changed the plugs, runs perfect all rpm's now!! thanks y'all for the suggestions! hate to sell it but wifey sez 1) i don't like to ride in it, you drive it too crazy 2) you never go anywhere by yourself anymore, so... 3) what about the '65 you're working on?
