Ok lister's I was finally able to get some time to mess with this....

 I checked the plug wires and all were correct and from what I could c not arching.
 One thing I noticed was a faint ticking noise coming from the area of the pass side cap/dizzy/hall sender.
 So, 
I figured I would check codes and pulled,

2113 Hall sender in distributor
Distributor alignment, faulty sender,

Mis-located sensor & distributor.
 &
2341 Oxygen Sensor Control Limit exceeded,
fuel pressure too low or too high, intake or exhaust leak, defective ignition system component,

intake air leak after air mass sensor, O2 sensor is faulty

Symptom: CO before catalyst is below 0.3% or greater than 1.0%,

Extremely lean or overly rich exhaust, Spark Plug fouling,

 Any words of wisdom on this?

 Ron
