Nobody ever said you were retarded. I was busting on Kennginn for a nearly worthless post. And it very well could be your MAF sensor unless you've already cleaned it and ruled it out.

Ok. You're on the right track if it'* cleared up a bit. With a clean MAF, TB, and fixed vacuum leak, you have two likely suspects:

1. Another vacuum leak.
2. A burnt exhaust valve due to the fact you have (most likely) an egr-less 92. Get a compression check. Both wet and dry. If they read the same, but one or two cylinders is low, you have a burnt valve.

Yes, there is a short vacuum hose that should go between the vacuum distribution tower on top of the TB to some sort of module that is on the fuel rail. This is a tricky one to replace because one end is 7/32" and the other is 5/32"

Also check the vacuum lines from your charcoal cansister to motor. Mine were rotted and gone.
