The TBI has an air cleaner that looks a lot like a 4 bbl air cleaner. There is a manifold air temperature sensor (MAT) mounted in the base of the air cleaner housing. Check and make sure that sensor is still connected and not broken, or that it's even still there at all. If it's bad, you should have an error code 23 or 25. Check your codes, even if your service light isn't on. I used to have a 91 RS that idled crappy and was less responsive in the low rpm's. I gave it a tune up, and it was the cap & rotor that did the trick. Has your c&r been replaced yet?
You might get more responses to this thread if it was in the third gen section.
