Thanks for the info guys! This may have to take the back burner for a bit as I will need equipment to burn a chip. Still something that needs to be done sooner than later.
Actually, I found the problem(s) making my idle so poor.
1. Low fuel pressure - I only had like 8psi, ended up being a bad regulator. Replaced the regulator and have 12psi now.
Would run really good, but then started doing the same thing again. Then I noticed when it happened, everytime I moved the ignition coil(wasn't bolted down for testing).
So I peeled back the 2 wires going from the coil to the ICM, turns out the previous owner did a terrible job splicing in a tach wire for a remote start that it had with the automatic transmission. He left the bare wires, wrapped in a zip tie with loose electrical tape. I got shocked by it just looking at it while it was running. Also tugging the wire and moving it made it misfire and stumble.
