I adjusted my bowden cable and it shifting alot better so I still need to do some vac. testing on the little box on the side of the IP I have the manual on CD and it shows the values needed and how to adjust
so that will soon be over.... or shifting better and better

Now to the big issue well not that big it just sucks

I was not able to get the car to stall in to days!!

It wants to the rpms dip into the 350-400 and stumbles a little but no stall (I think as a reflex and not wanting it to die I am bumping the pedal as it dips low to save it from stalling)
And it still needs more cranking to get it started
It's got to be related to the stalling symptoms started same day

I too have been blessed with this idle problem. Most of the time it occurs at the most inconvenient moment. ANYONE have solution for this one?

You may want to consider this approach - setting the idel on 300SDL? It's a bit tough to find because of the spelling of idle. Fortunately I type in a dyslexic manner from time to time.
