is your check engine light on? When was the last time the ignition was tuned up? (plugs, wires, cap & rotor replaced)

disributor was replaced about 6 months ago but im replacing the plugs and wires tommarow so ill let u know if that fixs anything but i was wondering if the injectors could be cloged or somthing would cause it to make a sound like to much air running in

is it a hissing sound? That could be a vacuum leak. Or maybe a clogged pcv valve. When the dizzy was replaced, did it have a new cap & rotor? If so, I'd do the plugs & wires next.

it did have a heater hose busted and leaked under the disributer but no its not a hissing sound its hard to exlplain but it sounds as if to much air and not enough fuel is getting in but when the engine did over heat when the hose busted and the spark plug wires melted around the spark plug in two of the four so i got to dig that shit out before i can change the wired and plug but ill do \that tommarow and let u know if it changes anything
