Default 87 2.8 4 driver rough idol & miss till warm

I have a miss and rough idol till it warms to operating temp, I can either start it up and wait till the temp is up or drive 1 mile turn it off and sit a minute then turn it back on and wala it idols perfect. Takes off with no miss runs great. ok lets give you a history of what I did a year and a half ago till now. 1 owner grandma, with 52,000 miles and receipts of everything done to the car. I now have 58,500 on it. Gas millage went bad and I replaced every flicking thing to get it right.( list below ) Finally the next to last thing Throttle Base Censor brought the mileage on the highway up to 17 mpg and 13 in town. I can live with that sense the book says 14 in town 19 out. ok I then have a miss and rough idol untill warm. I didn't change the fuel filter till last because I couldn't find it, it wasn't where it was suppose to be, it was behind my power steering pump between the block. I had to remove the pump to replace the filter. Yes the filter was dirty as mud. I ran the tank of gas I had out with Gum-out injector cleaner also then refilled tank with shell gas and more Gum-out thinking my 4 month old injectors ( 2 ) on my 87, was dirty from my dirty fuel filter I didn't change. The motor idling got better and power I didn't know I had was restored but can't get the idling right. I feel it has to do with a injector screen clogged or some thing with the gas. I have used 1/4 tank of the new gas and gum-out so far. Anyone with this ordeal before. I know the fuel filter should of been long before everything else. Forgive me please. HELP
