'87 5ktqw driveline backlash?

[Luis Marques <marques@rtis.ray.com>]

Could it be that the fuel cut-off is cutting back on as the RPM's drop
below 1,500?  Could also be the air flow meter flap binding a little. 
It couldn't hurt to clean the oil, gum, and varnish that has accumulated
throughout the yars and recentering the flap if it is off-center.  Are
all your lifters quiet?  Bad/worn lifters could resuld in a rough idle.
