Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check al your vacuum lines. They can be hard and brittle or soft and gummy but either way tha=ey need to be replaced if they leak.

good luck and let us know.

What engine?
Where the plugs, wires, etc all replaced with new?
How many miles since?
Does it run ruff at all engine rpms?
