Ok folks I solved the water in the oil problem, but my car still won't idle. There's only two possibilities left. The first is that the numerous disconnected vacuum lines won't let it idle. The second is that it's mistimed. Which one is it guys? I'm tending to think that it has to be the vacuum lines. I mean, a mistimed distributor will still let it idle won't it?

Always check the most obvious first, which in this case vacuum lines. Fsm has the vacuum diagram. But to be kind of vague, check the one on the brake booster, valve cover, canister, and intake pipe.
