Try adjusting the BAC valve and looking for vacuum leaks. Vacuume leaks are hard to find. Usually that means that a hose may be cracked or disconnected, or one of the manifold gaskets has gone bad, or the intake pipe has cracked. Basically you need to inspect all of the intake plumbing and ensure that everything is in proper order.
