Sounds like you might have a vacuum leak somewhere. I'd start by checking all vacuum hoses and connections.

You can take a length of garden hose, hold one end to your ear, and place the other end around the engine, brake booster, etc., and listen for a hissing sound. Anywhere there is vacuum hosing.
