Change the fuel filters.  They are probably clogged.  Also, check to see
if the fuel pump works.  Check the archives from a few days ago about how
to hot-wire the fuel pump relay to test this.  Also, check the big
boot that goes from the air flow meter to the throttle body (as well as
as all hoses to the intake tract) for leaks.
