After running on the highway for about 30 minutes, my 87 GN will start to make a funky whiney noise from the engine. It will get progressively louder for about 10 seconds then the car starts to run rough, buck, like it is running out of fuel. It will backfire and it has actually stalled. After waiting a few minutes, it will start right up as if nothing happened. It has done this every time I have driven the car lately and yesterday it did set a malfunction code 42 on the scanmaster.
It is pretty odd that right before the engine runs real rough, it starts to make this strange whine and shortly thereafter it does the " run crappy like it its out of gas routine" Has this happened to anyone???? On a side note, I am also getting a rythmic ticking sound that changes with rpm. It really sounds alot like a lifter but I am thinkin it could be the cam sensor as the sound seems to come from the front of the engine. Thanks in advance for any help
