I went through a whole bunch of stuff to try to eliminate a similar problem with my '85. Start with the cheap stuff first. Make sure the intake boot is well attached and in good condition. (This was actually my final solution after all the other stuff.) Check the carbon track in the AFM -- mine had a bad spot just above the normal idle position. I enlarged the screw holes in the board and shifted it so that the arm ran on a fresh track. (This was my next to the last step and solved most of the problem.) Check on the condition of all the vacuum lines -- especially those small ones attached to the fuel pressure regulator. Check the fuel pressure and function of the fuel pressure regulator. Try tightening the AFM spring some. Be sure to keep track of the number of notches you move the wheel -- you may want to put it back at some point.
