I am confused as to why you think just randomly throwing $$ in parts at it will fix the problem, without doing basic diagnostics.

I inquired a week ago as to the colour of your plugs, did you pull a cple?

code 173

I just had my 92 back from the shop yesterday and I too got this code-they said it is the vacuum modulator on the transmission-after I replace this I then need to replace all the vacuum lines since they likely are causing vacuum leaks from trans fluid degredation-my weekend project! Hope it helps you...
