Frustrated with 88SPG---Long

It all started with a problem of warm idle hunting. Since the 88 SPG was a new car to me we began with a major tune up replacing all related including fuel filter(NGK Bosch, Boge, stuff recommended by this BB). At this point it became a cold idle hunting problem, same range of fluctuation, 400-1200RPM,. We replaced all of the vac hoses, check all connections to turbo, replaced AIC and AMM with no change. Last evening I again checked every vac. connection and electrical wire I could get to in the car. Found a broken wire that I fixed and cleaned all grounds with no improvement to the idle. I did find a old broken bolt on the header,however, the car ran well with this problem . Summary: cold idle hunting still present, engine misses as you approach 75mph and becomes worse as speed increases cutting out at 85 mph. Would greatly appreciate your thoughts and any questions you may have, too many trees at this point. Need your help. Bob
