I think I figured it out.  The connector on the ignition coil is broken
and taped up.  Wiggle that thing around a little bit and the idle went
back to normal.  Sound like a possible cause to me problem?  Now where
to get another connector???

Are you using any coolant? Did it start after a new fill up of gas?
Leaking
head gasket, bad gas. One of the SHO's here wouldn't run worth a crap
changed parts and still bad, added 5 gallons of Ultra and ran fine. The
tank
full of Shell gas was bad!
