It's a 94 manual with a 2.3 engine I've checked the inertia switch fuel filter maf sensor I'm kinda concerned about the old plastic vacuum lines

Best thing to do is change them out. Certainly can't hurt.
Have you pulled your plugs and checked them out? They will give you an indication of the way your engine is running.
