Welcome to the forum mkr46. Check the vacuum lines leading from the EGR valve at the rear of the engine. There is a tee in the line that is also known to split.

does it sputter and struggle at take off? i have the same problem with my 95. mine sputters like crazy when i take off. theres a small pop from the right cyl head @ 2500rpm and then it hauls ass. the bad sputter at 3grand is when its in park or neutral im assuming because mine does the same thing. do you have a cold air intake? check your vacuum lines. and is you PCV seated right?
