Flow is good (no cat)and yes sounds like maybe coming from j hose at breather box.....its a loud wissle after I press on peddle starts at like 2500 some as my max rpm at the moment....I may have also found a leak in gas line.....only when pressure builds

The PEMs give up in 10-15 years and will first give you a miss at speed , then no start

You have to diagnose the root cause, not throw parts by symptom. Check fuel pressure with gauge. Monitor while driving

I don't think our year has a PEM. Thought we only had the fuel pump relay.
