Please do some research on the Forum on how to set the mixture correctly with the duty cycle reading on a multimeter, or at least get a CO reading at the tail pipe.

I think what is probably happening is that you have a one or more bad injectors, or a bad fuel distributor, and that you are not getting enough fuel at idle to one or two cylinders. But it's hard to tell until you can give us some baseline data.
I will look some more on doing that. Initially, I couldn't find anything that told me even what screw to adjust to set the mixture.
There's no way I know to get a CO reading at the tailpipe for a home guy. It smells rich. Vacuum is low, which indicates rich. At least on my regular carbureted cars. These new-fangled fuel injected machines with computer controls are weird :-)

Thank you again
John
