1992 nissan hardbody lossing power.
When i go to start the p/u it will idle rough,to prevent it from dieing i have to throttle it up to get past it bogging once it clears the bogging i can let off the throttle and it will idle fine for a period of a few minutes and will bog again. Then when i go to drive down the street it will bog a lil bit if im easy with it and then when i floor it it acts like its flooding(bogg really bad). Ive been reading up on it and i found that if when i goto start it if i un plug my mass air flow sensor it will start clean but idle a lil high will have very lil power if i attempt to drive on it then when i plug it back in it will runn great till i let it idle for to long or if i shut down and restart the p/u.What would cause this is it my mass airflow failing ir is it some thing more or can i clean it?

Could be caused by one of the following below

Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.

Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
