'92 Silo rough idle, stalls in park and neutral

My 92 Silo has around 200k miles, 3.8 L engine. The check engine light is on. Basically, it idles rough when cold, will nearly stall out when trying to accelerate too quickly and when climbing hills. If I let up on the gas the vehicle recovers and continues to run. Once warmed up, it will always stall when put into Park and Neutral.
A mechanic told me that the mass air flow sensor was bad. He said that just unplugging it might help a bit so I did that. It did help a little....but not much. I ended up replacing the MAS but that didn't fix the problem.
I'm on a very limited budget so I'm hoping to find the cure to this problem quickly and avoid replacing good parts.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated!
thanks much
Brad

Last COMPLETE tuneup(plugs, wires, PCV, air and fuel filter)?

Check coil output?

Check for codes?

Losing coolant?
