Depends, is the intake system a carb or fuel-injection?

Sometimes you'll see a little cylindrical dohickey on the power or monitor cables. If I recall correctly, it's called a balun. If you cut it off a system that is acting sluggish, you'll often find that it has built up so much deposits from the garbage in the lines that it is practically a solid hunk of metal. The balun is your computer's equivalent of a fuel filter. You may need a new one.
