I had a '93 ES 5-speed and really enjoyed it.
My guess is a vacuum leak, maybe more than one. Remove and plug each
vacuum hose to see which one, if any, are leaking. If the brake booster
diaphragm goes that would easily kill the engine at idle.
Another possibility is the PCV valve. I have seen new defective brand x
parts fail that caused rough idle. Same routine, plug it to see if the
rough idle goes away.
