Is this a TBI? doesn't really matter, but when was the last time the filter was replaced?

take your throttle body to get rebuilt and have the injectors cleaned.

a brand new one would cost too much, unless you wanted to hit a pick n pull and find one, but you wouldn't know for sure how great those injectors are either.

Check to make sure it's getting all the ingredients for a happy engine before you go having anything extensive done like fiddlin' with the T.B. and injectors. Make sure the engine has: 1.) Fuel, 2.) Spark, 3.) Air, 4.) Compression. If it has all 4 then start checking the power of the spark and the amount of fuel the engine is getting then you can start looking to do things like mentioned above.

Why hasnt anyone recommended that he check the codes yet?!? If there is anything there then it would give him a good place to start...
Check your trouble codes...you never know what you might find.
