pull the plug wires from one of the rotors at a time while its idling and see if it cahnges the idle. If it doesnt-thats bad.

It sounds like you broke an apex seal Also you can remove the plugs and crank the engine around and if it doesnt spit evenly... R.I.P

well in the past 4hours i have torn the car apart and discoverd a hole the size of a dime in the fuel line b4 the primary rail... guess that explains why it was running like crap it was getting no fuel and running super lean... if this doesnt fix the problem i will try what you guys recommended.. thanks for the help.. Dave
