There hasent been a factory car out of detroit with a carb since the 80's.
YOu may want to inspect and replace you entire emmisions system, as it is fairly aged and is at the end of its life cycle. This system should be listed by a sticker on your hood or on top of the radiator.
Alos, check you TPS sensor on you throttle body, and while you at it, clean the throttle body, a dirty throttle body can lead to all sorts of problems.
Different sensors to check include-
MAP/MAF sensor
IAT sensor
TPS sensor
IAC solenoid
Some of the emissions stuff are-
EGR valve
PCV valve
Carbon Can
If you have any lights on the dash, a code scanner from pep boys has the ability to clear most of them out. For soem of the higher dollar cars, a more expensive unit is required.
