miss at idle??

I have an 87 T/A 5.0 TPI and get a miss at idle after it has warmed up. Does not affect driveability and it isn't even there after 900 rpm just when sitting at idle. I changed the plugs, wires, coil, cap and rotor with no change to the situation. Any help would be appreciated.

I wonder if it could be an injector, just a guess. I dont think its an ignition problem - they get worse with rpm, and you covered that already. my .02 cents worth.

Try a set of wire separators. A cheap set is like $2.99 at Autozone. Worth a shot.
