I am getting a loud hissing from a rear port in the throttle body. Any
ideas on the cause of this hissing? It is causing my 96 dodge 1500 v6
to start very hard. I restricted the air flow to this port upon one of
the startups and it idled better. However it only worked on this one
startup and I can’t keep taking the filter off every time I crank the
old girl.

You are missing a plug/cap or a hose connected to it because it is not
supposed to be open like that.

Sounds like youre describing the idle air control area.Run a code check and
find out if there are other problems causing it to idle low.
