Um, I have a similar problem. I've been searching and so far I think it's the bacv. I'll have to clean it this weekend to find out for sure though. Good luck. If you find that it's something other than the bacv, let me know. Thanks.

Get your FSM out, read the sensor inputs at the ECU with the key on, compare to specs given...

Could be a VERY clogged fuel filter...

I agree with checking the fuel filter. I had the same symptons on my 89 vert and have not had any problems since changing the filter.
