Default 89 civic keeps on dying when engine stars

thanks for replying...I just had the tune up couple weeks ago...new
plugs, new oil, new filter...the cars has over 200k miles on it...but
it was running good until i had my friend test drive it...he said he
reved it pretty bad...ever since he did that to the car, the car just
started dying...like there's not enough gas cuming or like the car is
having hard time breathing, like it chokes a little before it actually
start...
