Check the CEL:
To read any codes on your neon, put the key in the ignition and cycle it to ACC on-off-on-off-on within 5 seconds. As the CEL flashes, count the number of flashes. This represents the code. An example would be flash-flash-flash-flash, pause, flash-flash-flash, which would be a Code 43, single or multiple cylinder misfire.
Post back with any codes found.

You probably missed a blink. It looks like you got 12,43 and then 55. Try reading them again.

My 95 did that but only accelerating never set a code but turned out to be the TPS. If yours is idling bad probably not that just something to think about.
