Thanks for the smart-ass reply, the CEL was exceedingly intermittent, leading me to believe it was caused by something external to the car and not a constant issue with something on the car itself. The rough idle developed with no connection to the CEL, I could see no real correlation between them. For the record, I cleaned the MAF, unplugged the battery to wipe any adaptations and now it is back to it's normal self. We will see if the problems comes up again next time it rains. And the only money I 'threw' at the car was on o2 sensors to replace the mismatched ones that the previous owner must have pulled from a pile of trash and put in...
