Rough idle ---
I have a 1998 Mazda 626 with 124,000 miles that purred like a kitten until 2 months ago. Since then the car has idles rough and the check engine light has come on several times. I had the 02 sensor fixed, the MAF, the air filter changed, the plugs and expensive wires. I have used STP and fuel injection cleasner and nothing has worked. I have service comments from a shop which state: No Codes! Will Start With Intake-Gasket. Please advise if this could possibly be my problem. The price is &288.00. I cannot afford to fix anything else but the problem.

does the idle issue happen before or after the car warms up? or is it all the time? could be a vacuum leak or a temperature sensor malfunction.

I'm having the same issues with a 98 626lx at appx the same mileage. Check engine light had come on with an Idle Control Valve error code.
Where you able to fix the issue? If so, was it a vacuum leak?
