'85 running badly

Here's the story....started yesterday morning and ran fine, went about 10 miles and stopped at red light. Noticed it was idling with a miss. Started again later and would not idle and had to keep it revved to drive it home. Just barely got home with it. I checked wires and get spark from all plugs. Tested the compression and is fine on all cylinders. Checked for vacuum leaks and could not find any, but maybe can hear one. Hard to start and will not idle but if you get above 30mph it will run alright. Does anyone have suggestions?

I would check for a stuck injector.
I have seen alot of injectors that run fine under acceleration, but do not fire at idle. Try unplugging each injector connector at idle and see if there is a change in RPMs.

I will try that Saturday. I'm thinking this may be the problem too.
