Check the vacuum at idle. It should be 18-20 and steady. If it's less and/or the needle is swinging, let us know what the reading is and how fast and how wide the fluctuations are.
Could be an injector, they can get noisy.

Use a vacuum gauge and hook it to the vacuum tree, which is on the fire wall with all the vacuum hoses going to it.

there should be a spot there that has nothing. Just a cap, plug it in there.
