well bad news friends. I drained some of the gas from the fuel lines and let it settle. No water in the gas. What next? Efi diagnostic?

The lumpy idle and surging is a sure sign it was running lean as something in the EFI was failing.

problem solved! I guess my spark just wasn't strong enough. I did test for spark and it was there but it mustve been weak. I pulled the distributer cap to find a small amount of moisture and the points had been corroded. Cleaned em off with a file and she started right up.

Good find.  I assume that you meant the electrodes in the cap, not points.  The moisture is probably what killed the spark.
