with it running, pull one plug wire at a time. when it doesnt change, there's your problem

I had the same prob with my 90 back in the day. I sold it but later found out that if I had changed my injectors, it would have been fixed. I did all the tune up stuff and still had the same problem. I don't know how true this is, but I would start with pulling spark plug wires.

You'll be causing a misfire when you pull the plug wire off and you should be able to hear the engine sound change. If it doesnt change than the plug you pulled is misfiring.
