Check your the coil paks. Because the plug wells are vertical...they tend to capture water and short out the high voltage wires going to the plugs.
This problem is compounded by the design of the hood which funnels water down onto the motor. If you let them go long enough...a code will set and tell you which cylinder has failed.

Mines been like this since I got it too. The 5 cylinders are inherently unbalanced. After changing the spark plugs cleaning the MAF sensor, throttle body, replacing the belts and pulleys and checking the coil packs I’ve just gotten used to it. Ive heard it’s not at all uncommon.

I think amrg and 4 speed are on the right track. Figure out anything that could make the engine run less smoothly, or move about more freely (worn out engine mounts). It's a good practice with picking up a used vehicle to treat it to a thorough maintenance as you may not know the history, or have been given an accurate history. New fluids, plugs, belts, cleaning MAF sensor, throttle body. Check engine and diff mounts for wear.
