1994 Eagle Vision High Idle & Stalls often Sign In

1994 Eagle Vision esi 3.3L V-6 & 235K miles. Two problems: Not sure if it's related, but seemed to start after lots of snow got into air box while slamming drifts on the road. After initial start-up, it goes high idle (1500-2000 RPM) after 20-30 seconds & stays that way. I let go of brakes & it takes off! So...my brakes are shot.

Second, my car will just die after 8-10 miles. Almost clockwork when it dies. I crank over for 10 min & it fires up. Drive 8-10 miles & it dies. No error codes come up that I know of. I changed fuel pumps & fuel filter. Does the same thing. Any advice will be appreciated.....

Look for vacuum leaks. Could've broken a hose hitting the drifts, and with the age of those hoses it was time anyhow. Get the computer scanned anyhow, sometimes you think its not showing any codes and it turns out the engine light bulb is just burned out.

The hoses were in rough shape, so i changed them a few months ago. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to help. I've heard people say it could be anything from a crank sensor not getting the cylinders synchronized to ignition issues. I guess there is a idle sensor too somewhere? Like most, i hate to bring it in to a shop to do a scan & blindly replace things charging me way more than the car is even worth, & still not fixing it. Thanks for the ideas.
