Default SC300 missing at idle

My 1992 SC300 has started missing at idle, when engine is hot or cold. I can hear it, and if I put my hand over either of the exhaust pipes I can feel it. It started out randomly and occasionally I would hear a miss, but over the course of less than half a tank of fuel, it has gotten to the point where it seems to be randomly missing about half of the time. Otherwise the car seems to be running fine(?)! No check engine light. Idle RPMs good. Car has 116,000 miles on it. Plugs replaced about 15,000 miles ago. Dumped in a bottle of injector cleaner and refilled with Chevron, and but problem is quickly getting worse.

Fixed. It turned out to be a burnt distributor rotor.
