clean your MAF sensor and throttle body man, 95 LS so i would expect these things to be clogged up if you haven't done the proper cleaning before, but since your car didn't throw any CEL codes, that's good!

Pop the hood, notice where the air intake is. Check that the hood insulation isn't sagging from age and clogging the air intake like a hand over a vacuum hose when you step on it. That's what my problem was with same symtoms you describe.
