No now with a direction to go and a few tricks up my sleeve I'll get in there and get a little dirty. I'll have something to report back on in the next few days. Good news I hope.
I can't thank you guys enough already! Ferrett aka Sean

Get yourself a timing light. When i'm getting bad spark the timing pulses at idle. Factory is 8 degree mine would pulsate from 6-8 because of the mis-timed spark.
Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, and a new cat (not sure how to go about that in CA) is a great start.
I'm sure some or all of this was all mentioned just going through what I did to get mine to run correctly when I was seeing weird timing, rough idles, and just in general poor running.
