thanks for the link Dave...hope your trip went well..

The reason I'm shifting my thought to ignition (other than just tired of smelling like gas..ha ha) is because we have went complete through the fuel system and so has the previous owner. Maybe it's not the problem anymore. we have corrected quite a bit but just seems to still missing something. As I type this, wonder if the cat might stopped up. that would kinda make sense. I haven't checked it. That might explain why it tries to run a little with the plug out. Its not build that much pressure.Hummm whatcha think about that..???
