With all of the rain you guys have been having, it is a wonder that the cars still run. Your "temporary" CEL was probably due to a cylinder misfire which cleared up.
Pull your plugs, and if the electrode is rounded, buy 5 new ones. You car probably does not have indivvidual coils, so I would also change the plug wires, cap and rotor. Make sure you get a new seal with that rotor to keep moisture out.
Your car does not have an Electronic Throttle Module, consider yourself lucky that there is still a cable between the gas peddle and the throttle body.

BTW, I used to work at The Travelers in the early eighties. I don't miss the rush hour congestion at all.
