I've got a serious problem

I'll need spark plugs, maybe wires $100-$200, I'm guessing cause I haven't looked. And if I need MAP, Cam sensor, guessing another $200. I hoping it'll be under $1000, but it could mushroom up to 2K, if there's anything else wrong, etc. Fuel regulator or pump, valves, vacuum pump, some other sensor I might not know about.

Well, Joe, I understand where you got the idea some of the rest of the parts might need replacing. But, I wouldn't bleed till I got cut. Troubleshooting trumps "shotgunning" (read: change parts till the problem goes away), and I feel you're looking at a worst case scenario unnecessarily. Just wouldn't want ya to worry jes yet, buddy.

JMO, but since you have a 90, the chances the OEM injectors will go bad (quoting Marc Haibeck) "...is 100%". (Mine were replaced by a dealer prior to purchasing the car. The dealer used NOS injectors, and I had to replace them again 3 years later!) My point is, it is so well established that the OEM injectors on the 90-92s (primarily) will fail at 100%, might as well R&R the bitches up front - a good chance that could be the problem now (but will be later "fer sher"). Then, if that doesn't fix it, revert to proper troubleshooting for the rest, e.g., fuel delivery tests, coils (as needed), MAP voltage verification, etc.

Keep us posted.
