air leak on the carb boots, plugged pilot jet, speed screw to high, and if it is carbed with flat slide the slides will leak air if they are worn or the air/fuel screws.

Check ur throttle cable and make sure the throttle body is returning back to an idle status, like as in hanging up due to a spring failure or cable failure. Is the ecm flashing any codes???? :beer;
