I have no vacuum leaks as I had the car smoke tested about 8 month ago, and last night sprayed a ton of carb cleaner everywhere and it had no effect on idle speed. I got a little gremlin somewhere...
I believe you should not get a misfire, correct. You could check by pullnig the hoses off and seeing what happens.

FWIW, I have found these CIS cars will run with the ECU removed without misfiring. Throttle response will be a bit weak and cold running will suck, but it shouldn't have a single cylinder misfire or anything. May help you rule out certain problems that info?
Good luck; bear in mind it could be something you thought you've checked!
