3.0 issues

90 3vze.when it's cold it takes a while to start then it spits and sputters and the fires up but sometimes runs down a cylinder for a couple seconds,other times it will start up fine,one of the worst problems I have I's that at high rpms it will pop and cut out,low on power too. It's not the afm or igniter or coil, but I still pull a code 14. It rains a lot here do i can't test things very often so if there's something that sounds obvious that I can replace let me know I need help.

So the cold start timing switch is located directly to the left of the coolant temp sensor correct,it's pretty small compared to the coolant temp sensor with a single wire on it also correct?...if so I looked at it the other day and it looks all gunked up and corroded...also would a vacuum leak cause a loss in power and intermittent cut outs at high rpm? Also forgot to add that this 3.0 is out of a 94 pickup.
