I have c1500 with a 350 it. I was driving last night ant the engine just sounded like it was choking but nothing happened. Then I was driving home and it started to do the same thing only this time it died. I pulled over then I started up the truck with no problem. When I got home I checked under the hood and my filter had a big *** hole at the end of it. It is a cold air intake that I picked up from a magazine.

Will that cause my problems?

Thanks

 

Unless you sucked some large debris( leaves, trash, etc..) in there, I dont think the air intake would be the problem.

 

It sounds like the engine backfires through the TBI unit. Is there any codes?
