Check all of your tune-up parts. (Distributor Cap, Distributor Rotor, Spark Plugs and Spark Plug Wires) Also perform a compression test if no problem is found with the tune-up parts. Check also for vacuum leaks and the Intake Air Control Valve (IAC) for the "won't idle" problem.

SOURCE: runs extremly rough at idle runs great at speed

have you checked the pcv valve. a vacuume leak will make your car idel rough too listen arround the throttle body and intake hose for a hiss use a piece of hose @ 2 feet long 1 end in ear other end prod arround to listen for a hissing sound if you hear one plug it up if idle gets better that hose or hole need to be connected to what ever it came off of.

What causes engine miss at idle under load?

I'm not sure what you mean by "under load", maybe with a/c on, etc. Also is it really an engine misfire or a rough idle. If it really is a misfire, a scantool at your local parts store should be able to read a code for that. Sometimes a rough idle could be due to just a cracked or disconnected vacuum hose or dirty throttle body. You didn't say whether it runs ok at highway speeds. Sometimes a rough idle can be cleared up a lot with throttle body service or injector flush. Sorry, this is the best I can do with information provided.

Won't downshift when passing

Sounds like you have two problems, rough idle from an 89 would indicate mutliple problem possiblilities. Spark plugs, timing chain, injectors, coil pack, vacuum hose corrosion. Start there and if that doesnt solve the idle issue its time for a mechanic or a trade in.

For the no downshift, slow down lol. It could be an out of spec throttle cable. Check to make sure the cables are free and clear of debris and no kinks are present. The throttle linkage should move freely while the engine is off and again while running, be careful here.

Unfortunatly we may have to face the truth the old girl just doesnt have it in her anymore. Take it slow and easy, shes earned it.

Throttle body just replaced; now runs & idles rough

adjust the TPS, throttle position sensor.

First though, disconnect battery for 1/2 hour. Restart engine and drive for 15 miles while computer relearns changes you made. Will run rough for this period.
