OK...FINALLY FIGURED THE PROBLEM OUT AND FIXED IT!!!!!
As it turns out, the slight, erratic stumble I was getting @ idle was due to my plug wires! The stumble would occur hot/cold, full/empty tank, etc... It even started to stumble at around 45 mph. However, yesterday it went full tilt and would kick and buck and even threw a CEL.
Long story short, the CEL was P0300 thru P0308 (meaning a misfire in all 8 cylinders). NO WAY I thought, unless the wires were shot and the coil wire was messing with all of them. Lo and behold, a new set of wires did the trick.
