Why does my 99 Cadillac STS miss at idle and on hills if I increase idle speed to 800 RPM with my foot on the brake the idle miss goes away?
Obviously this cannot be diagnosed without seeing it but heres a suggestion to consider. When you put your foot on the brake and bring up the rpms you are smoothing out the engine. You may have a bad plug wire that is "moving in the breeze so to speak" the engine may be vibrating it just enough to come close enough to a ground that will create a skip. I had a similar problem with a VW years ago. Going up a steep hill it would skip. At idle it would skip intermitently. I was looking at it under the hood one night(in the pitch dark) and caught a glance at the spark jumping over to the engine from a plug wire intermitently. Changed all the plug wires and it never happened again. Look for a bad plug wire. If you have high miles just change them and it will probably cure your problem

Does a car undergo acceleration when you step on the brake?
