Possibly you have a bad injector or un-equal delivery from fuel distributor.

Try finding the problem cylinder(s) with either an infra-red heat gun on the exhaust...OR by cylinder balance..

To check cylinder balance you will have to disconnect the idle valve & then squeeze (needle nose vise grips) the idle balance tube (hose) until the RPM is at 600. then see which cylinder is the weakest.
