I would check for fuel leaks and vacuum leaks.

Check under the hood as the car is running for any leaks.

good way to do it..buy a can of starter fluid..and spray a tad..not alot at each vacume connection/hose..even rub some on the hose if ya can..do each hose seperate if ya can..listen to the motor..if it reves up high..you have found a leak.

check your timing/advance and spark as well. Fuel pressure and vacuum signal to FPR
