You have to put if this is carbureted or dual TBI installed on it as it could be a few different things. First thing you should do is see if there are any codes stored in the computer. Cross A&B in the ALDL it's below the steering column and turn the key on and watch the servie engine light flash. Count the flashes 1- 3 times then 2 - 3 times = 12. Then come to the site here and look under obd1 for what that means. Sensor wise. It could also be a fuel pump/filter problem as well. But check the codes first. Then let us know if it's dual TBI or carb.
