+1 to the IMRC's.
They block off some of the intake ports to increase port velocity at lower engine speeds, helps with low speed torque. They are just little butterflies that slap shut below 3250RPM and open above. Usually they get gummed up. One way of fixing them is seafoam, another is to take the intake off and clean them.

Should be directions on the can. Basically start the car, disconnect a vacuum hose that goes to the intake, then suck the seafoam in, try not to let it die until you get the recommended amount in. Once it's in, you kill the car and let it sit for about 20 minutes. Then you start it up and prepare for the smoke show.

I personally don't care for seafoam, but you can put it in slowly through the PCV line.
The right way to fix this problem would be to take the intake off and clean them away from the engine, or get rid of them all together.
IMRC = Intake Manifold Runner Controls, I believe.....
They look like this (Maybe aluminum for you:
