At 255k the cam will probably be lacking a fair amount of lift,(worn away lobes) and the valves will definately be inneed of attention, maybe even new exhaust guides etc. A top end overhaul sounds like it is looming. Get a compression test etc done first. Has the MAF been checked? This will cause excessive richness and fouling of plugs if it has failed.

i pulled maf of while running and it stalled so am i rite in saying that this is good?

Not really, that just proves that it hasn't totally failed. Can still send bad numbers to the ECU though, and still idle.
I would be getting it looked at by someone who knows 14CUX systems, to test all the bits and bobs but I am still leaning toward mechanical wear and tear with those km's.
Where are you located?
