Rough idle on 97 with DOHC

My Neon is idling rough then acting like it's not getting enough gas on takeoff. It's not doing it all the time, I'd say about half the time. Any Ideas?

Could be alot of things...plugs/wires/coil pack, EGR valve, fuel pump. Is your CEL on?

Check your wiring to your upstream O2 sensor, located on the exhaust manifold, and make sure its OK. If it looks OK, you may need to change it out.
