This only happens in 1st gear? If it runs okay in other gears, timing isn't an issue.

Let me know.

Have you checked the simple things such as for vacuum leaks, is the catalytic converter plugging, is it in need of a tune up.

Also, a 93 goes back many years. I can't recall if it is fuel injected or has a carb. Can you tell me?
