I'll order coil packs and o-rings (in case I have leaks in tubes) and stick them in next week. I hope that fixes the rough idle and that its not the MAF sensor, which I also suspect. BTW, is there any liability with running the car with dead engine mounts?

A dead engine mount places stress on the other components that are connected to the engine and tranny.. And it makes for a nasty transition on and off the clutch with a nasty bump between shifts.
The rough idle can also be a cracked intake manifold or vacuum hose. I see more and more cracked intakes.
