My X has developed a shudder or hiccup @ idle.
What are the possible causes?

Mine was also had a shudder at idle and I swapped the plugs and now im good.

I would swap plugs and wires and it if doesn't go away then do the fuel filter. Might also want to pour in a bottle of dry gas
 






that worked for me...plugs and wires then fuel filter. You know better than anyone when they were last replaced....
 












If he had bad fuel pressure...wouldnt the pressure be less at throttle than idle...making the stutter more evident at higher revs?
