PCV does not handle gas. Open hood and look at top of engine while someone else starts the car. You may have a leaking injector. Did you replace the fuel filter? check that it is on tight and that it is installed correctly, arrow usually points towards the engine.

Recently had new muffler put on now exhaust makes lots of clanking noises when first give gas and when braked at light the exhaust doesn't seem loose at all could it be the catalytic converter or what
If you can ,tap the exhaust system with a rubber hammer to locate the noise,could be a loose baffle in the new muffler.

My1990 corvette lost engine power,cutts off when given a touch on the gas pedel,and lost the nice sound
Check engine light on ? Did you have it hooked up to diagnostic tool ? Could be a few different thing's , engine sensors , fuel system problem , plugged exhaust etc... If unfamiliar with this your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop .

This could be a lot of things. IT could be the injectors or the fuel pump pressure, it could be the air intake, vacuum leak, etc.

My muffler fell off today and its louder but i have a rough idle now what is the muffler why is it doing this. its also loss of power
your muffler not only reduces sound but also tunes the flow of exhaust gas,so if it is missing, all the engine tune is put out completely,replace asap so that you run quiter and use less gas.(F1 racing cars have a length of pipe that is cut to an exact length to give max power...)

1997 Honda Accord stalling at lights when gas is pressed.
It sounds like you need a complete tune up and have the cooling system fushed and filled as well. It sound like it needs some TLC.

I just had my muffler/exhaust system changed at a garage. Before I brought the car in it was loud, but otherwise ran fine. Since I picked my car up I have noticed that now it struggles to reach cruising...
first of all , i would say check your oil pressure.second i would take a look at your oil pan and the screw that holds it together.because some times they put them on too tight scripping them,that can make it do most of the things you described above.or if its not tight enough,it could do the same. i hope i was helpful in some way. good luck
