GZE MR2 Troubles

hello
I got some problems with my MR2 and its starting to give me the shits, last night i retorqued the head bolts and the engine was running fine before i pulled it apart. And as most of you would know retorqing the head bolts meant removing the cams etc. So im pretty sure timing, either cam or ignition is my problem. Right now the car is drivable, and pulls freely to redline but breaks up SLIGHTLY in the top end, might miss once or twice thats it before im at the rev limiter. It is down on power a little.
But the main problem is idle, its allways hunted and i havent found anything to cause it yet. But once it reaches operating temp it hunts between something like 300rpm and ~1000rpm. After 3 or for "up/downs" itll stall, kinda makes it hard sitting at the lights.
The other hint as to what my problem is, when i crank the motor. It will spin freely for a few revs, then all of a sudden stop. Like hitting a brick wall, im thinking an ignition event too early or something stopping the piston from going all the way. This happens probably 2 out of every 3 attempts to start the car
The other thing is that the dizzy is advanced all the way it can go. If i retard it just a little the motor will die.
These signs seem to point to my timing being off, but the cam timing seems spot on. I have a hard time putting the dizzy in the right spot because of the firewall.
Has anyone got any ideas as its starting to shit me
Phill
