srs light and 4ws ive yet to attempt reset on srs from a previous thread but cant see tht affecting it. (4ws) broken wires on last sensor plug at back just needs fixed and reset I think but yet again cant see that being the case.

I understand man. From here once it's out of garage Monday and I manage to get a guy to test the power output on alternator what steps should I do one at a time to ensure my engine is running smoothly? Ie carb spray intake and vacuums etc?

I've just thought, check the PCV valve in the rocker cover, when they break, they can cause funny idle problems. Just another thought. :|

No problem. As previously said, check alternator output, >14.5 v charging. Still looking through manual for clues ;)

Only other possibility is the EACV. But by looks of it, the motor uses a shed load of inputs to determine idle speed :?

This sounds like my lude...

Mine needed the main relay re-soldering. Was a pain in the ass. started fine, got hot and then just wouldn't start until the engine cooled. Looks awesome in the middle of a garage after filling up :/
