Sounds like it might be the idle air control. This is located underneath (and attached too) your throttle body.

Re: 1989 firebird formula PROBLEM!
is your vehicle throwing any codes ? if it is it could be the MAF if you have the maf version like we do, possibly the ECM, and like we found out, our engine was replaced from a 305 to a 350 and the prom /ecm goes with the engine, someone forgot to replace the ecm/prom. If you need a prom we have one for your 305 and the ecm.
