I'm thinking the FP should be 38-42psi.
I would clean the Mass Air sensor wires. check for a extremely dirty air filter. & see if the ECM has thrown any codes.
& +1 on replacing the fuel filter.

Agreed with checking codes and for leaky spark plug wires.

ok. just changed the filter and checked the fuel pressure. its set at 40 with the vacuum off and plugged. i pulled the plugs and they are white. that means its runnin lean correct? havent checked the codes because i dont know how and the light isnt on

I've seen a bad distributer cause that problem.

It's been wet - check the cap for cracks and for water under the rotor cap. If you find any moisture under there 20 minutes with a hair dryer will do the trick.

Here do this for codes. the test plug is besides the a/c evaporater on the passenger side of the car. Use a jumper wire or paper clip




Now that the connection is made, grab your pen and paper and sit in the driver seat.

-Turn the key to the on position, but do not start the car. This will initiate the "Key On Engine Off" or KOEO Test.
-Keeping an eye on the Check Engine Light (CEL) you will notice a quick and brief series of flashes. These are not usuable for these tests.
-Next the CEL will flash slower codes. These codes are the ones we want, so its time to start counting them. The spacing of the flashes determines the number, for example: a code 67 would be shown as 6 flashes in a row, then a small pause, followed by 7 more flashes. Between codes is a longer pause. Each code will be repeated twice.
-When the KOEO codes stop, you'll notice a much longer pause and then a seperator pulse (a single "solid" flash).
-Now the Continuous Memory (CM) codes will flash. These codes are output essentially the same way as the KOEO codes.



-after the CM codes are finished, turn the key to off for about 10 seconds, but leave the Self-Test connection hooked up.
-Now you will want to start the car. The idle will raise substantially and the CEL will flash four times in a row (indicating that you have eight cylinders)
-this will be followed by the Key On Engine Running (KOER) codes that are output like the previous tests.



Optional Testing
Cylinder Balance Test
-Immediately after all KOER codes have been output, a quick WOT rev will initiate the cylinder balance test.
-The codes shown are of a slightly different format, that is, they are multiples of ten. 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. for example 9 flashes would equal 90.



- Start by Checking your codes

Thanks for posting the code pulling info! I thought there was a sticky here on SN about the code pulling process but I searched in vain for it tonight. I was going to post it here as well.

same issue

my 94 does the same thing what headers are on the car mine does it because on the passenger side the last plug against the firewall never has a good connection i have hooker shorty headers and that last plug is always messed up and i always burnt he wire/have a bad connection

just a thought

Drive to Autozone. They pull codes for free. The trick above will work in a pinch buts its a PITA.

Autozone will pull codes on OBD1 cars? last time I tried that they told me they could only do 96-up. maybe the guy was just being lazy.

Oh they can read them , if u get someone that knows what they are doing. I work at advance auto parts, and i do it all the time. It sounds like you definitly have an igntiton or fuel problem.

The Autozone in Hudson, MA has pulled OBD1 codes for me before. I think your guy was blowing smoke.
