It's probably running too rich. If all the wires are connected 
correctly, and if the vacuum hose to the Pressure Sensor is 
connected on both ends, then it is most likely to be a worn out 
voltage regulator.

Check the VR by measuring the voltage across the battery at 
medium RPM and with a warm engine (take it for a drive.) The 
voltage should be above 14V. If it is less than 13.5V your VR is on 
its way out; if it is less than 13V you just found your problem.
