You have a couple other problems as well. If your car is a 93 and not a 92, then it isn't an RS (was no such model in the early 4th gen's). And your engine would be a 3.4, not 2.8.
As far as the sluggish engine, could be a dirty air filter or fuel filter....for starters anyway.

What Camaro 69 said... Also... Does it feel like the engine is hesitating/misfiring? You prolly need new plugs/wires.

You need to give us a little more detail than that, friend

Don't worry about performance until you get it running correctly. Just get OE replacement wires... they'll do just fine. Make sure that's the problem though.

Does it misfire all the time? Only when its wet? High RPMs only?
