Something similar happened to my son's car -- would not accelerate, ran bad -- listers diagnosed it as a clogged hose that runs from the back of the intake manifold to the ALDA. Cleaned that out, it ran much better. That does not really relate to the engine (or is the starter?) turning faster, but you might want to check out that hose and clean it and the manifold hole out where it exits the manifold.
