Sound like an air leak somewhere. You minimize the effect it has to the
fuel air ratio by opening the throttle wide open.

Has anyone been 'tinkering' with the fuel Dist? Leave it alone. Look for
clogged fuel filter, fuel delivery coming out of a pulled injector onto
a jar, weak spark, leaky injector seals, cracks in the rubber/ plastic
components the air travels into t he engine.

You _do_ have a Bentley, right?  :)
