My 1984 had a carburetor if this is the case I would check the float level and accelerator pump. You will probably need a carb. kit to do this. Also check all vacuum operated pull offs. I use a vacuum pump.
If its throttle body fuel injected check the fuel pressure.

If just low check the fuel pressure regulator.
Use a can of carb. cleaner and spray around all vacuum openings. If you have an air leak it will smooth out quickly.
A lot of parts stores have a set of loaner tools.
