After a night of "hot rodding" every time I push the gas the engine bogs down and won't shift until way over 3000 rpms. Has very little power under 40 mph but still shifts. I Can NOT accelerate over 50 mph. There is Also a hissing sound that becomes worse when gas pedal is pushed and my gas milage has been cut in half...is it vacuum, fuel, transmission? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
 






Hissing sound sounds like it could be a vacuum leak. I have seen the hose to the power brake booster and the elbow itself rot out.
 






Welcome to the forum, did the idle change, sound any faster? My van had a vacuum leak from the brake booster.
