It's going to be expensive, whatever it is. Get a scanmaster and a voltmeter. Verify the injectors and chip match, then drop the tank, inspect all wiring and ohm out the coils etc, etc, all the stuff you can do yourself saves money. Ever owned a boat? It' like a boat. Break-Out-Another-Thousand. I'm a few beers deep, and got a busted Buick in the garage, its not so bad, they like to be on jackstands from time to time. Gotta have a spare maf, or step up to a LT/LS1 maf and translator. Once you pull codes you'll know more.

If it was ez, everyone would have an old car. All the advice is good stuff, and the up side is you are sure to break more stuff as you work on it. Old plastic is brittle. I good friend with a similar setup and free time might be willing to bring his/hers over and you could swap some of their known good parts to see if yours are bad. That is one of the reason some people with a larger budget have more than one of these cars.
Best part is you will probably learn some things along the way. These guys didn't read this knowledge in some book, they lived it with blood, sweat and tears to keep theirs running.

Any more info on the car? Is it all stock? Could be a worn cam or clogged injectors or a number of things. A scanmaster should point you in the right direction though. It's a wise investment at this point.
we understand.dont sweat the small stuf...we ended up finding the problem with car.turns out the previous owner,for whatever reason,pealed the factory plastic armor off ,directly above the steering column,to tap into the purple starter wire,and did a piss poor job of protecting,and positioning the harness,so the wires were rubbing the steering column,so when we would drive around,eventually it would short and ground out...it only took a couple hours of tracing wire to find it.i did spend a little bit of doe,replacing the ignition module,before i got done guessing what was wrong.it needed that anyway,the origional was 80,000 miles old,and it does run a hell of alot better.its pdq,for stock.i suspect there are some mods. that we are not aware of yet ,done to the car.so far,we have replaced the origional fuel pump with a walbro255,hot wired it,changed all fluids & filters,new front brakes & rotors,put a sound system in,with 7" screen w/2x12" subs.w/fosgate mosfet amp...and i kno just @ where every wire in the harness is coming or going to.i see what all the fuss is @ now.we had a great time working on all that stuff,and looking forward to whats next....guages!,after that we"ll be back with more questions for the braintrust here @ tb.thanks guys.
