You may have a vacuum leak. Check to see if you need to replace the gasket between the intake manifold and the head. With the engine running, spray short bursts of starter fluid at points around the head/manifold gasket. If the engine starts running much better when you hit one of those spots you probably have a vacuum leak there. Be very careful with starter fluid. It is extremely flamable and if you don't use very short bursts you can cause a fire. If you don't have a vacuum leak, check to see if the injector(s) have anything in them.
