Starting Problems with 1992 Camaro 305 TBI

I have a 1992 Camaro RS with 305. The car has a problem and I have no idea what's causing it. First off, when I turn it over, it will crank until it stops cranking, but won't start. If I turn it over and give it gas, it will turn on, but it will shut off. I have to rev the RPM's to 1000 to 1,300 and keep it there until it warms up, otherwise the car will shut off/bog out and turn off. I have no idea what it is. I checked for codes and it said it was code 13 and 32. I checked 3 days later and code 32 went away. I need help with this. I plan on changing my spark plugs today since I already have new plugs I was going to put in my 97 camaro. Friday is pay day, therefore, I'm doing maintenance such as oil change, transmission change, new air filter, coolant flush, fuel cleaning, and an alignment. My work does all of this except an alignment. What could the problem be caused by? Also, I took a picture of a hose from the air filter housing that was disconnected/broken off and I don't know if that is the problem which is highly unlikely. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to get this car to run better without problems to keep as a daily.

Where can I buy a K&N Air Filter and how much will it cost?

Thank You!

There are a million "my car won't start " guides available online ; some with videos

Most basic tests would be for spark and fuel ; presence of each and quantity

For example ,if you have not enough or too much fuel you will have problems
