    Default check for vacumm leaks,

    also could be the PCV plate at the back of the intake... total PITA to fix but only 40 bux.

    I have the same thing, very rough idle. I'd think it was leakdown if I didn't know it was a alusil block replaced sometime in '98 or '99. I've got new motor mounts on order (my PS pressure hose was leaking all over it), but it's probably something more involved - idle control valve or f*ed up timing or something.
