I've found that these can really play hell on the fueling/ignition system.
Another thing that is easy, cheap, and beneficial is to get some dielectric grease for all of the connections, including the grounds (a couple of bucks for a small 2 ounce tube at Radio Shack).
What I've done is to first clean all of the contacts (light sandpaper) at the grounding points, then apply a tiny dab of the dielectric grease. It improves the quality of the connection by impeding subsequent oxidation/corrosion. The grounds can be a little tough to reach, so you may want to have you mechanic do this. The main grounds are on fuel rail near the front of the car and at the base of the radiator on the passenger side.
Similarly, I've systematically done this with all of my connections on the various sensors in the fuel system. It's pretty easy to do Almost all of them are on the top of the engine, and unless you are towards the very end of your pregnancy, something you can easily do yourself in an hour or so. Choose a wire, follow it to the sensor, remove, clean the contacts, and put just a very tiny drop on the connector. With the weather moderating as we enter Fall, it would not be terribly unpleasant.
These cars are all now 20+ years and there's often a lot of corrosion that has accumulated over two decades. Do this once, and you'll probably not have to think about again for many years. Oh yeah, I also did the contacts for all of my relays, but just use a very tiny amount of the dielectric grease (essentially, just enough to "wet" the contact).
