Have you run codes on it, looked at it with a scanner, or anything like that? If it acts like it is starving for fuel, then I would suspect the MAF meter or BMAP sensor if it uses one. I don't remember if they still used the BMAP in 92, but that is a good starting point.

Well, that sounds like a very expensive way to fix a problem. Does it have a check engine lite on? You can buy a code reader cheaper than you can buy almost any sensor for this thing and at least have a starting point. Just an idea

How old is the fuel? Some of the gas sold nowdays looses it's power significantly within just a few weeks of time if not used up. If nothing else seems to work, maybe drain the tank and start with some fresh gas. Good luck.
