I had to have it towed last night because it died all of a sudden. It had been running fine all night, but I did notice it was just a tad slow to start. That night while waiting on the truck I got it started but it would only idle. If it was revved, it would die. It was hissing loudly, but I didn't find the problem until today.
Today, I found a vacuum leak that was causing the hiss. I hooked the line back up, and the car still took a long time to start. Once started, it idles smoothly and I can rev it all the way up but if I press the gas too quickly, it will die. I took it down the road and it has a pretty bad loss of power, and it hesitates and stutters now and then. After I shut it off I noticed a sulfur-like smell.
Fuel pressure reads 40 pounds, which is in operating range I believe. Fuel/air mix reads extremely rich when I rev the engine while parked.
