What you are calling a skip (if its a newer car) is probraly the fans kicking on or your ac pump kicking in or just one of your sensors readjusting the idle speed. More noticable on smaller engines in larger cars.

Depends on what u mean by "skip". It could be anything from bad fuel, clogged fuel filter, bad plug wires.
When our Honda started skipping, turns out it was a cracked spark plug.

Maybe you mean "miss"? If so, a miss can be caused by old spark plug wires.
