good point
at any rate. Start with Cleaning the MAF ( be very very careful with what you use to spray it with. Dont touch the wires) Fuel filter and plugs. It could also be a coil.

i dunno if this apply's to the f-body's, but I know on my vette, i had the 02 sensors crossed and that caused the very same symptoms you speak of. May want to check that out. Its a quick 20 minute process just by lifting the car and checking it out. worth a shot! good luck!
