You pretty much answered your own question. With a vacuum leak it will not work right, and can give these symptoms that you have. Get the leak fixed and most likely your trouble will be gone.

Mike - bit confused here. It's got a new battery - fine. It's no better than the connections and GM connections are prone at the battery and other ends of the cables. Can look ok and not be. They must be good on any car and moreso on this one as RT mentioned,

Thanks Tom for a positive reply on a negative subject. Mike, as Tom said that I said. Follow the large negative cable from the battery neg (-) post down to where it is bolted to the eng , it should be a stud just in front of starter. Remove stud and clean area,stud and cable end . Reattach good and tight.
