Without knowing more is hard to say. Some things to check though would be injectors if it is fuel injected and the throttle position sensor. If carbuerated may just need adjustment. Best thing to do is spend approx $20 and get the "Chilton's Manual" for your specific vehicle, it contains excellent troubleshooting tips and flowcharts.
