232 might be the clue 200 1993

I bet the problem is either a bad o2 sensor, or an air mass meter that is starting to "drift." In fact, my money is on the air mass meter. These can fail outright (your car will idle but fall on its face when you try to drive it), or they can fail gradually over time.

Last couple of times that I couldn't figure out why the car was running poorly (and after replacing the usual suspects), I installed a used air mass meter from the junkyard and the car ran perfectly again. I don't know where you are in California, but there are junkyards in the Bay Area that sell used AMM's with a warranty (60 days) for $75.
