Thanks tweetie, F_Myers, and Seigried for taking the time...
1) Problem has been there since I bought the car at 103K, now at 110K
2) Did pull one plug wire at a time (many times..) no ID on a particular cyl.
3) Head was not pulled when chain replaced. No indication of coolent in oil or vice versa ever.
Here's a new clue maybe: I pull the temp sensor (center, top of head), and the idle jumps up (as expected) but runs dead smooth. And it now pulls much stronger and even smoother, almost perfect. Hmmm...so close, yet....
All good ideas , thanks again, I'll run each one down, except pulling the head I hope, last resort !
