thanks, I already got the injectors though 
they helped that problem, but still had timing way out problem... tested transformer type coil from starlet and it fired better - didnt need as much advance.
bit the bullet and took it to EFI Autos, there wasnt any major problems - i had forgot to block off the EGR port on plenum chamber!!! it faces the firewall as well so out of sight/out of mind. They adjusted the TPS they said and now its idling OK, but its not right.
they did compression check, and #2 cylinder is showing almost nothing. i thought its strange because it was running on #2 cylinder alone a couple days earlier (with full advance and more throttle, while still had EGR port unblocked etc).
he said check your clearances (going to do that now), and that it may be a valve not seating properly. He also said that because its been sitting for almost a year, it may need some running to free it up if it is sticking... otherwise take the head off to have it looked at.
its scary and real demoralising to have no compression in #2, it doesnt hesitate through underload/revving out, but it is rougher at idle than what it should be.
I used Nulon Engine Oil Flush yesterday before dropping the oil, first two benefits it claims are:
1) Helps free up sticky valve lifters
2) Cleans & removes sludge, dirt & varnish
sounds good to me, fingers crossed its that simple!
thanks again,
David.
