Default Slow cranking and code 34 (85 Vette)

My 85 is occasionally cranking slow. I have an 80% charged battery, good alternator, good starter (6 months old) and good cables. When the car starts slowly, it will sometimes set a code 34. The car will run rough until the code is removed by removing the negative battery cable. The car will then run good until the slow-start situation comes up again. The slow starting is not all the time, but frequently. I am at a stand still as to determining what the problem might be. Any ideas?

Check into your MAF sensor, also your wiring loom in the engine compartment in general.
