it could also very well be your maf if you sprayed it down with maf cleaner. its like cryptonite to your maf.
they started adding warning labels to CRC maf cleaner on the back for older lexus and toyota vehicles with your kind of maf.
you have a 92, so yours should run without a maf connected even. try disconnecting it and see if it clears up the problem, if it runs smooth again its the maf, and you will have to try cleaning it in a different way with compressed air and letting it dry out completely with stuff that doesn't leave residues.

so i disconnected my mas and it didnt help, i also disconnected my ignition coils and it didnt help either. next step is to check my spark plug wiring. if that doesnt do it, it might be time to take it to a professional

it definitely has to be an ignition problem because when i start it up it smells like raw fuel. so a couple of the cylinders probably arent getting spark. might just be bad wires
