Thanks to all (especially Mario)--I think the problem is finally solved!

I set the baseline idle this afternoon and simultaneously discovered that the accelerator cable was out of adjustment. I did end up raising the baseline idle significantly (it wouldn't even run in baseline mode the way it was set before).

I also replaced all the fuel injector seals. I'd bought some replacements years ago, but never put them in. I checked for leaks while I was in there, and found some. I have a hunch there may still be a vacuum leak somewhere else.

Anyway, I feel like I've got a whole new car! Thanks so much for all your help!
