Our cars are the same age and I've found some of the plastic vacuum lines brittle, like the fuel pressure regulator hose. Take the air cleaner assembly off and check the vacuum hoses. Get new plastic and rubber hose and replace all of them. I'll be doing this soon, it's rather cold around here at the moment.

I recently replaced my water pump and that was a major PITA.
