Could be the MAF...but you have to get the code read to know for sure.

That sucks! Since it happens at idle, maybe replace the O2 sensors...Thats the cheapest place to start.

Your 94 is an obd1 car with a 12 pin dlc. Autozone and many other parts stores only can read 96 and up obd2 cars. Actron CP9145 scanner with 12 pin GM adaptor CP9127 will read your car. The scanner is available on ebay for around $140 last time I checked. With CP9127 it will read any GM obd1 car and all obd2 through about 2007. CP9127 runs about $40.
An alternative is to turn your laptop into a scan tool. You will need a special cable that goes from car's dlc to usb of laptop. The free program freescan will read your codes and let you see real time sensor data as it happens. Another program called DataMaster, does the same and logs the data to a file so you or someone else can watch it as many times as needed. If interested in this route, let me know and I'll post up where to get the cable and programs.
