I would look for vacuum leaks. I have an 87TII and found that nearly ALL the vac lines had hardened up like macaroni. Found two broken - which dramatically affected idle - with just a casual examination of the engine compartment.
With the age and heat, you should count on most of the rubber on the engine to be bad.

make sure to spell idle correctly, it would make forum searches a lot easier
