Ok, DogDays and RobX, got it. That is what I will do. Going to make an appointment to leave it with mechanic, and discuss issues and suggestions.

You reminded me of a couple of things that happened, but only once. Once when starting, it was slow to turn over for a second then turned over quickly and started right up. Kind of what I believe is the sound of the timing being off. Then, for the first time, today when I shut it off at work, it sounded like it ran-on for a second after key was off. I guess these indicate timing issues, along with the crappy idle. The car really does idle like there is a miss the more I drive it.

Will call mechanic tomorrow and hope he can take it on Monday. Thanks to all. I won't spend any money on parts yet.
