Whenever I give the car any throttle it chokes out or sputters.

I've only owned the car for a month after about 10 years of alot of garage sitting. Car is in mint condition but needs to be retuned. Just started to have this problem. Seems to be running rich and suffocates? Car has been chipped. Vacuum leak or a ECM problem? Thanks! My first day to turbobuick.com looking forward to the community!

U have any scan tools? Scanmaster would be a good start. A Powerlogger even better!
How about a fuel pressure gauge?
Did you flush the fluids, the fuel tank, change the filters, etc?
Don't forget the Powermaster, too. That brake fluid will likely be NASTY.
Check ALL vac lines.
Clean the MAF.
Anyone with a TR around your area?? Maybe get up w/ them for some help.

don't give up yet. probably simple like bad vacume leak or bad maf. try to find someone close to you so you could swap a know good maf
