Fuel problem maybe?
Take the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator. If you don't know where that is, this page is a great reference:

Start the engine and see where the pressure is. It should never fluctuate with the vacuum line off. It should always read constant. Taking the vacuum line off will eliminate any idle speed variables.
If it were O2's it would would most likely run fine until going into closed loop.

Just on an "off the wall" shot...You mentioned putting the DD back on the road. Is your 'Bird stored during the winter or driven infrequently? have you just put gas in it, or has it been sitting for a long time with the same gas in it? Maybe you have gotten some water in the gas. Hit it with some "dry gas" or Techron, and a few gallons of fresh fuel.
Sometimes it's the simple stuff.....

So far we have checked by unplugging o2s, maf, new battery, checked fuel pressure, cleaned the maf, changed the fuel filter. Im going to drain the gas and check the coil and icm tomorrow by swapping out to my friends anything else i could check with minimal tools tomorrow while im at it?

No water in the gas. So thats not a problem. Still waiting on the new coil and icm. Tried cranking it after checked the gas and it back fired and died and wont crank back. No it wont crank at all.
Update:
Looks like I need a new fuel pressure sensor. I Don't have the cash right now but when I get it installed I'll update on if that was the main problem or not. lethal bird, have you looked into checking that?
