First thing you need to do is a tune up. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, filters (oil, air, fuel), check timing, valve adjustment, Seafoam, etc..

also check all your wiring for your vafc. or just remove it, I would bet you a large sum of money the vafc is the cause of your problems

I thought you didn't support seafoam?
I don't endorse it whatsoever. Its too abrasive on rubber gaskets.
Who knows I guess. I've only personally seen bad things from its use.

I have nothing against it...every time I've used it has come out well. Lots of old cars and such and none have had any problems and it seems like the older the car the more carbon-smoke billows out
Plus I'm sure it's not much different from all the other carbon build-up cleaners...
