Whistling noise and stalling

Near the end of a 3 hour drive, my TJ started whistling slightly while accelerating. After that, it the rpms would drop to zero when I stopped giving it gas.

Every time I needed to stop or make a slow turn, it would turn off, and I’d have to crank the engine while releasing the clutch and giving it gas to get the engine to start and stay on.

Has anyone else had this problem? Where should I start?

Look down at your intake manifold you’re going to see two L-shaped vacuum fittings- see if they are cracked, especially at the bottom.

Be careful with your other vacuum lines as they become brittle due to heat as you work.

O Reillys has a dorman that fits right on it.

If it works let us know- we are trying really hard to outdo each other here.

Not sure that this is a problem, but definitely doesn’t seem right. Could be worn out
