You may have a fuel pressure problem, put a pressure gauge on it and see what you get.

Your fuel pressure should be between 30 - 34 lbs at idle.

Speaking from experience, the first place I would check when dealing with drivability problems, especially low RPM problems, would be looking for a vacuum leaks on the plastic vacuum lines coming from the vacuum tree on the intake. The leak can cause a lean code, that or thermactor tubes (on the back of the heads on a V8) being rusted out.
