going on your description it sounds like you have an air leak on the intake side,there was a fault with the inlet manifolds cracking on this engine so check visually,also check all vacuum pipes are fitted properly and not damaged,check idle control valve and inlet manifold gaskets are not leaking and that all air ducting from air filter box to throttle housing is fitted properly,stick your head under bonnet and rev it up to try and pinpoint noise
