got a 97 pont gp, today it started, then it surged and stalled out. i changed the plugs and wires, still same issue stalls out, i hear the fuel pump and have pressure. i have spark and the motor will start if you rev it real hard around 3000rpm. when it idles it stalls, have been told that this is a typical intake mainfold taking in to much air. also makes a look sucking sound almost like a cold air intake sound. does this sound like a gasket issue and what am i looking at for repair...............

Pressure test the cooling system to verify the intake gasket is leaking, typical repair at a dealer is $700.
