Engine stalls like its choking?
« on: October 02, 2010, 04:25:27 pm »
My sbc350 all of a sudden just slowly died and it finally started but still dies, got to start and i disconnected PCV valve hose and motor RPM jumped. Changed valve still same symptoms, its like its choking for air with it connected? could it be the carb? Seems like its sucking alot of air through PCV hose?
