Subject:Can anyone help me?

This is on a 90 GL (252k miles, 20k on engine)

First the story:

slave cylinder starts to leak; save $$ and buy new one (2 months); during
time frame (cold idle starts to fail) suspect temp sensor; hold off on temp
sensor until new slave cylinder replace because of all the grime and stuff
around the work area; cylinder replaced; blue temp sensor replaced;

One ongoing problem: the hesitation on acceleration (suspect air flow box; I
have one with about 10k mile on it somewhere but can't find so still looking
before I start saving for another one)

Results: 1. cold idle a little bit better but still stalls
        2. temp gage on dash not working

Has anyone come across this before and if so what was their fix?

Thanks in advance

Jere
