85 GSL-SE rough idle

Hello I need help with my 85 GSL-SE, It just started to idle real rough, after checking several things I adjusted the mixture a little rich and now the idle stays at 800 rpm firm but the car shakes a bit at idle, first I think it was the seals gone bad but the car drives strong, now I think it may be an weak injector, please help.

I think nobody is answering your plea because there is tons of information to this specific question in the 1st gen archives. Its been covered hundreds of times.

I have read somewhere here that the rotary appears/can to idle a bit rough at 800 rpm...a normal thing. I raised my idle speed to 1000 rpm and it is smoother.
