Check the torque of you head bolts and make sure they are still tight. A small vacuum leak in the intake area will cause you to loose idle and it will run good under load and higher speed. Look for a cracked intake manifold, a bad gasket, or some other place air can get into the idle air stream. Spray the area with carb cleaner or wd-40 while it is running. If it clears up. you have found the leak. Now don't cause a fire when you are doing this. Be carefull.
E mail me with what you find.
