Wow, thank you very much for your response. I feel like I have a much better idea of what to look for now. My gut instinct is telling me it is some kind of exhaust leak (there was a metalic ticking noise that shows up from time to time like a manifold leak, although I'm not sure that's what it is), but it seems these cars are more prone to (and sensitive to) vacuum/air leaks, so I will double check that.
I have noticed the engine has been running much cooler since the waterpump got replaced last month. Is there a way to see if the ECT was damaged?
As a matter of maintanance on a 125k car, I was going to do the fuel filter (3rd time in 125k) and drop the 50k old Bosch DPs in favor of the Autolite/Motorcrafts, and change the PCV valve.
I'm glad the weather has been at least a bit warmer, much easier to work on the car without going numb in the cold.
Thanks
