Answer
Hi Sam -

Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Since your car has many vacuum hoses, a good way to check is to get some carburetor cleaner and spray a little mist over different areas of the engine. If you spray over a certain area and the idle improves, you have found the area of concern, and know where to start.

Hope this helps -\
