ok, have tried the suggestions posted and the results are, very little change
On start up the engine was surging to a very high idle, 1800+ RPM. Holds that idle for 3 - 4 seconds, then returns to normal
Reset ECM
reset IAC
rechecked all vacuum lines
disconnected the cold start circuit
the only thing i have done new to the car is repair my interior light circuit and re-install the fuse
Engine now starts with an initial idle now of 1500 - 1600 rpm,
return to normal with in 1 second, then immediatly starts to stumble, Exhaust smell ( and smoke) indicates the engine is running very rich, and now the dash is acting odd. RPM indicates 4500 - redline at an idle, Oil pressure indicates 45 - 58 psi and a red light ( but also jumps all over), Speed indicator appears to read correctly, and voltage reads 12.2 ( measured 13.0vdc at the battery termnals with engine at idle).
now it did this the other day on my way into work, and when i went out at the end of the day, Dash worked properly, and did not appear to be running rich, voltage indicated at 13.0 . start up was as noted above.
