pfarah,
the wire are new, and distributor/rotor contacts were slightly "corroded" and cleaned before re-installation. I've seen much worst contacts where the distro cap's contacts were aluminum and rotor's were brass - the alum contact were electro-corroded with HUGE deposits on them.

Jay H,
I thought that Uro engine mounts are fluid-filled as supposed to be. Kinda hard to buy a $200+ mount vs. $40+. Vacuum lines kit? Couldn't find it from Pelican, saw something like a kit from Atlanta. This vacuum kit has rubber lines. How about thin plastic lines, do they ever crack? In my experience, vacuum leak (usually) increase warm idles to ver 1000 rpms. Mine stay at about 1000 when cold and warm. Anyway, I will have to inspect the lines and rubber elbows...
Throttle body rebuild kit - sounds great - thanks.
Throttle positioning sensor clicks. I heard it with engine off....

Jjeffries,
yes. I had 914 before and overbought the parts. I don't have 914 anymore, but the extra (unused) parts are still living in my garage. So, I try to buy exactly what I need and according the order of importance.

In general:
Engine, body shaking: I was suggested to check drive shaft bearings should be checked for play and ... and ... since the car wasn't driven for years - some of the problems my "disappear" after I resume driving. Self-healing, if you will.

Thanks again, guys, for you support and will post results after this weekend.
