Check the oil pressure gauge while idling and see what it does when you throttle up and see if it drops. All of the symptoms sound the same as mine did and turned out to be the pressure switch. The pressure switch is not expensive and easy to change.
where abouts is the pressure switch?

SUCCESS!!!!!!! it was the pressure switch. I jumped it to see if that was the cause and it runs like a swiss watch. 90 seconds after pulling the jumper wire off it started to sputter. put the wire back on and sat there with it idling for 20 minutes and drank several beer in celebration!!! thanks for the help gentlemen!!! and we leave on holidays friday morning!! I learned a lot about that engine by all this trial amd error which is great to.
