The next thing you should do, before throwing any more parts at it, is to pull codes. If you need help to do it, use the "search" here on the forum. It is not at all difficult, and no tools needed. When you have codes, post them and someone with '91 info will likely interpret them for you.

Codes is a good wasy to start....

I bet your fuel pressure regulator (FPR) diaphram is torn.....dumping extra fuel into intake, causing a very rich condition, O2 sensors freak and put the CEL on

Code 32 indicates an EGR system failure

Code 33 indicates a MAP system failure, High signal, low vacuum.

I do not have a 91 FSM to provide trouble shooting steps. Maybe someone will be along that can.

Give your arm a rest, quit throwing parts at it until you pinpoint what parts are needed.
