you almost certainly have an intake air leak.  usually this occurs at the
boots where the intake manifolds connect to the air intake distributor.  try
twiddling them round a bit to see if this helps it.  it should at least make
some difference.  if you can't totally cure it, these are probably really old
and stretched and won't make a good seal, therefore you'll need new ones.  the
other possibility is that your intake manifold gaskets/spacers are shot.  try
them if the boots seem ok.
