Sounds like a timing problem, have the ignition checked out, the distributor and module in particular.

clean your MAF!!!

Check all the ground wires from the block to the chasssis, and the battery to the block. I know it sounds dumb, but I had this very same problem, added a few ground straps and cleaned the exisitng ones, and the problem went away.

Just to update an old thread, I hate when I search forums for answers to problems a nobody post the solution!! The Hall Effect switch had come loose inside the distributor and was just not giving the ECM accurate info for timing. Great excuse to swap in a MSD Distributor!

That's been happening a LOT lately, the pickup being a problem I mean. Bad thing is you have to watch the MSD pickup too, mine went out a couple of months ago.
