I can only add my 2 cents from past experience with my old 86 GT. I had a lean running condition with it once that turned out to be a leaking EGR valve. If I remember correctly (this was about 10 years ago), the car just didn't want to run smooth. I ran the codes and the 'running lean" codes came up. As a trick I remember spraying the egr (diaphram) with water and the idle smoothed right out. Replaced the EGR and all was good.

Hope this helps
