Look for a broken or missing rubber vacuum cap on a vacuum port on the front side of the intake. If it is broken or missing, the vacuum leak will cause certain sensors to misread and it may overfuel the engine. ANY substantial vacuum leak will do that also. The classic symptom is that it runs fine for up to 15 minutes froma cold start. If it cools down and runs good again until it warms up, that is the clue. It has to do with the point where the fuel system goes from open loop into a closed loop operation.

You have a 91 Chevy lumina as it has on the manifold something that look like a spark plug but it is not as what is this and what does it do when the car is running or driving it?

I believe you are seeing your Oxygen or 'O2' sensor. It measures the ratio of oxygen in the exhaust and sends the info to your car's computer while you are driving. If the O2 sensor is bad your car can run poorly. It is one of the more important sensors on you car.
