I take it, this is the one with the 80K mi on it.
The only thing that comes to my mind would be an engine compression test.
If it turns out to be consistent, start pouring valve cleaner into your tank..
Sometimes, dirty valve seats can cause a problem at idle by leaking some. At higher RPMs, this may not be apparent or the higher pressure may help seal the valve(s) better.
