heh...My rough idling was caused by a failed ignition control module. $2250 later I was back on the road.
A few weeks later, my rough idling was cured by a new wiring harness.
A few months later my rough idling was cured by new caps and rotors. Right now, I have no idea what is causing the rough idling in the morning (cold) and the hesitation (all temps.). I have also noticed that the car feels like it has way more power cold, than after about 15 mins of driving.

I've also noticed that during heavy accelleration (as in merging onto the freeway, that once I get to around 60-70mph (and the trans. is still in 3rd), the engine startes to stumble/miss, as if the fuel supply was being cut off. - Do you have this happen also??
