Had a similar problem once and pulled it off and sprayed it out with carb cleaner. Dry and reassemble, and haven't had the problem since.

Or it could be something completely different

Good luck.

Im wondering...is this he same rubber "ring" that once pulled off and the car started..the metal tube makes a spitting noise? If so is that the reason why my car has poor acceleration?
