Ok, did some work this weekend. First off the IAC is dead, fails ohms test nothing happens when 12v is applied.
That probably accounts for idle issue.
The compressions were: 175,160 (below minimum),170,170 all came up to 190s with a dab of oil. To me it looks like valves are ok. rings #2 aren't too good.
max difference between highest and lowest is 15 psi (slightly over the limit). And belt probably hasn't slipped. Plugs are dry, nice and grey and gapped at .038, I took em back to .030.
I did forget to open the throttle when checking so I don't know if that impacts the readings and maybe they would have read higher if I had the throttle open.
Right now my thinking is that I'll go ahead and replace the IAC (got a good one at junk yard for $67) and timing belt and WP and see how it goes.
What do you all think? Is it worth keeping?
