Uneven, as in shaking, or "steady" fluctuation? All the time at idle, or occasionally? Fluctuation, only noticable at idle, in the SD was cured by replacing rack damper bolt, an adjustment may have been all that was needed. I do get a "miss" at idle sometimes when engine hot. SD and CD both. Can't hurt to change filters. Hope this helps.
