did you replace the timing belt? I just worked on one of those, the timing was one tooth off which made it run pooly, and there is a belt for a counter balancer which was completely chewed up. I would say you need a complete tune up and belt replacement if you havent done in a while. I would guess that the valve cover gasket is leaking too. I know those cars pretty well.
