First, check your ignition timing. Dwell, too, if you have a meter.

Then look for disconnected hoses and wires. Usually, those are a Bad Thing.

Then start checking for vacuum leaks. L-jet hates them, as has been mentioned. All hoses, look between the ribs on the rubber boot from the air flow meter to the throttle body--even check the gasket on the oil filler!!
