Check for leaks in Vacuum hoses (part of the emissions system), check the Fuel Pressure Regulator Valve for leaking fuel into the intake. Basic TLC (Tender loving care) and replace all spark plugs, spark plug wires, oil change, etc... Some older 1992 vehicles may have a distributor cap that is warn out and not making good contact with the points that assist in making sparks on each spark plug. Always clean inside the distributor cap once a year and inspect for wear and tear. If your vehicle does not have an electronic Timing sensor than your Engine timing may be off and in need of adjustment.
