I have a few problems that I think may be realted... anyone know how to fix them?

-Sometimes when I start it it will sputter for a few seconds then die...
-If I punch it then let off of it very fast it will die...
-Very rarely it will idle too high...
-My gas mileage is very bad... around 14 in town...


It is an '84 stock, auto.

I was thinking a vacume leak or a fouled plug... where do I start to look?
Thanks

I can't help with an 84, but there are those who can.

Consider this a bump.
