My 95 SE (purchased May 94) has a 5-speed, so I don't know if there are
any potential problems related to auto trans (vacuum leak or electrical).

The only thing that has caused rough idle or power loss for me has been
failed injectors (a common problem). I had 3 or 4 of them go out, one at
a time over the years, and only once did the check engine light come on
the same day (during a trip). The other times the light did not come on
for several weeks to a month (maybe intermittant injector failure).

I did have the knock sensor replaced once, but that might have been a
false positive at the time one of the injectors failed. The only other
engine related electrical devices that ever failed were O2 sensors which
did not affect how the engine ran. Never any problems with ignition.

It is still going strong and a joy to drive.

If problem is cylinder misfire:

- MAF affects via ECU; all cylinders behave 'equally' bad
- Coilpacks/Injectors may be disconnected and/or swapped = bad individual traced
- fuel pressure check with a pressure gauge
- ECU has the coil/injector driver circuits
- everythin is affected by pwr supply. Check voltage at ECU, all groundings, engine related connectors for oxidation; check/read http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/14
- Disconnect alt charge wires to test/troubleshoot for possible noise.
