Actually, valve adjustment is what I would check first. I'm not sure why you don't think it's valves unless you've actually checked. The problem is they tend to be too tight.

The rack dampner (RD) bolt is in the middle of the aft side of the IP. It's a bolt with a locking nut. (a weak rack dampner shows up as a rough idle while warm)

(BTW, just a little caution......refrain from using "gas" terminology such as "give it a little gas" or "throttle" as some will give you a little guff. We tend to enjoy "diesel" terms such as "fuel" and "accelerator".)
