wtf?

i have an 86 firebird lg4, 700r. i had some problems with what i thought had to be the carb. the car idles speratically, had some off idle hesitation, ran lean, was low on power, and the engine light came on after the car reached around 160 deg. and went off after i had been driving for 30min or so. i took it off and had it rebuilt, put it back on and it really didnt help much. the car was running a little less lean, and it got some power back, but the idle still sux, and the engine light does the same thing. the only thing i adjusted is the idle speed because the car kept stalling at stop lights. do i just have to dial in my carb or is something else skrewed up? i changed the plugs, wires, and inspected the cap, and changed o2 sensor. i still have no idea
