One possibility could be a bad catcon. Could be checked with a vacuum test.

VTKgB Do you have an auto zone or something near by that reads codes for free? I read you had "bond auto" check for codes. It can't hurt to have another place check.

How old are your spark plug wires? I change them every 30K miles. You can't tell by looking if they are bad, and they're not expensive.

The key trick won't work on your '99.
