Any codes? GS300 or GS400? I would check your vacuum lines for leaks and air box for cracks.

ive got no codes due to the car sitting with dead battery and havent drove it enough to trigger any codes

I only ask because you mentioned "idle is off" and sounds like it's "sucking air" which sounds like a vacuum leak. You mentioned you haven't been able to drive it yet, did you buy it like this? Or was something recently changed that cause it to run badly? You can take it to Autozone and they can test your alternator and battery, but I wouldn't replace any more parts until you know exactly what the issue is. The 3 mechanics evidently have not worked on a 2GS before. Find someone who knows the vehicle or take it to the dealer. Much cheaper than replacing parts hoping to find the issue.

EDIT: Btw, I had a vacuum leak once for 3 MONTHS and I couldn't find out why my car was running rough and stalling intermittently at stop lights. No codes. Took it to the dealer and paid the $120 diagnostic fee and they found the problem in 5 MINUTES. I had a cracked vacuum hose. Didn't even charge me for it. Yes, it was an expensive hose but IMO that's much better than guessing.

I agree thanks bro...thats a good idea...im gonna look at all hoses and vacuum lines... then drive it over to auto zone and have them look at the alternator... thank u very much for your help bro...
