OK i was driving my Bonnie out to the mall yesterday to meet my wife and a friend and the car did great, but on the way back is when it had a problem about half way back to the house i couldn't get it to go above 3k and since i was on back roads i figured as long as it gets me home i will be ok. well it did get me home but once we got there (after trying to figure out how far i could push the peddle before it stopped revving up) it died and did not want to start again. i waited about three hours and tried again it started but sounded like it was really struggling, with the hood popped u can hear the intake really sucking it sounded like a vacuum cleaner but as soon as i touched the gas *poof* she died again. any ideas as to the cause of the problem. thanks in advance.

almost sounds like the exhaust is plugged...

or the fuel pump going bad.

i don't think that would cause the "vacuum cleaner" noise though.... at least not underhood.

fuel pump is less than a year old ill check the exhaust plz keep the info coming

No check engine light?

Ahh, idle air control stuck open.

no check engine light no warning of any kind

what should i use to clean the iac

carb cleaner and a stiff nylon bristle brush work for me.
