Default How would you describe the V6 bad idle when due to plenum gasket failure?

When the plenum gasket leaks in the V6, what happens to the idle?

-- Surges up and down?
-- Stumbles (like bad timing in the bad old days)?
-- Skips a beat regularly?
-- Cylinder misfire?
-- or.... ?

(Looking at a 1500 w/146k on the engine. Won't be able to tell much about oil consumption or recent gas mileage).
