There are several ways to do it
a. Check carburetor if not clean pump it on the intake if that not solve try to clean it. with Lacquer thinner to dissolve the dirt.
b. Check spark plug if some are not working. In checking try to pull one by one the high tension wire and listen if the sound vary if the sound remain when pulling one wire mean you have problem with your spark plug. So replace all spark plug with the same spec.
c. or lost compression on cylinder.
d Check if you fuel filter if some dirt and replace it.
e. Clean your air filter with compressor or replace it
f. Check the clearance to the Contact Point it must have 1 mm or .8 mm spacing when not at firing mode ( just like the thin of the hacksaw blade the space of the gap of the contact point.)

My 1997 mitsubishi galant idles at 1000rpm. soon as on gear(like drive/reverse) rpm drops to 500 rpm and runs rough. if I run the A/C the engine runs rough and seems like it has no power to move on drive...

Have you run an error check on vehicle. You can have this done for free at most auto parts stores. Almost sounds like the idle sensor is having issues, but can not be sure at this point. Make sure the choke isn't sticking or hanging up if carbureted.

Hard starting, rough idle when cold, then smooth running when warm

Need year/make/model/mileage of vehicle to provide a more specific set of troubleshooting steps.

When was the last tune up? Hard starts when cold are usually caused by fouled spark plugs, worn plug wires, or weak ignition coils. Fuel systems are not as effected by temperature changes as the ignition components.

Runs rough and misses badly when cold. once warm it runs fine.

This sounds like a problem with your choke. Check that the choke shafts are free and that the choke is able to close when the engine is cold. A spray with penetrating oil will often be enough to free the choke. Otherwise check that the system that operates the choke is functioning.

My Chevy S10 '87 2.5 liter engine seems to shake and surge most times and I have sensed it is choking very slightly as I drive.What can I do to adjust the choke.This maybe a Throttle Body Injection...

Check ALL vacuum hoses as your truck is getting older and rubber components may be breaking down.ALL sensors need good connections,electrical and where needed,vacuum to send correct data to the computer.
Has the throttle body been cleaned lately?
Don't overlook regular maintenance,plugs,wires etc.
