Stuck or bad PCV valve on the Valve Cover to the carb or throttle body. The other is the EGR valve. Most likely the PCV.
It could be a tear in your air cleaner hose. The hose from your air filter to the throttle body. If the mass air flow sensor does not have enough air suction ( or enough volume of air) going across it it will shut down the engine.
Fuel going into the air cleaner could be a stuck float or improper timing, or internal engine problems. If the engine is also backfiring then the timing is probably off.
It could be your MAF sensor. Mass air flow sensor that measures the air going into the intake. This could likely cause sluggish acceleration.
make sure your air cleaner is clean,also check for fouled spark plugs
The air cleaner removes particles of dirt before the air enters your engine. Without it, dirt will enter the cylinders, scoring the walls, and eventually leading to failure.
An air cleaner is a device which filters or cleans air, or an air purifier.
could have too much freon in it -air could be going thru heater coil- no air flow thru condensor
It is on the air cleaner lid.It is on the air cleaner lid.
Its on or in the "tube" going from your air filter to intake. It will be on the engine side of the air cleaner assembly.
Quiet, I would imagine. Probably the air will be much cleaner too.
in the air cleaner
Maybe a wheel bearing -does the sound change when turning in one direction or the other? Could be a belt driven accessory that has a bearing going bad. i.e. alternator, water pump, belt tensioner etc.
