You'll need to diagnosis both your problems.

The Check Engine Light (CEL) being lit indicates stored and active codes. Those are your first clues in solving your running problems.

Also, your 1996 ACC control panel has the ability to access the HVAC codes. I can't recall the sequence. Common problems are evaporator temp sensor and leaking condensors. Again, before you start throwing parts at something, find the problem.

With your running problems, get the codes before buying a single part. However, it's probably either an ignition problem (coil, wire, etc.) or Air Mass Meter.
