1997 Mazda 626 mileage: 160,000. My problem has some of the same characteristics as a previous question. My car has started to run rough in idle and stall at a stop, only in forward gears. The car runs fine but   with the brake on. Thinking the problem might be a tune-up I replaced the fuel filter, plugs, pcv valve and air filter. The transmission seems fine. This car has an automatic transmission, air conditioning, fuel injection but no turbo charger. Thanks for your help.

Your car is equipped with a computer controlled engine management system. You can scan your computer for fault or error codes with a pocket Scan cp9125 code scanner for under $80. The information it gives pinpoints the malfunctioning components and will also clear the check engine light after you have made the repairs.
