Consider:
Check for, vacuum leak or loose hose at throttle body or MAF sensor. Favuum leaks are common and may present a hissing noise. If you can spray carb cleaner near intake gasket, on vacuum hose, or intake hose someplace where it changes the sound of the engine you have found your leak.
Check for an exhaust leak. Exhaust leaks have a very distinctive sound.
Check for a misfire. Your car shakes.
Check for faulty or damaged MAF sensor:
-Runs better with MAF sensor unplugged or:
-Banging MAF sensor with your fist whilke engine idling makes a change in sound of engine or:
-Remove MAF sensor and look at the wire. If it isn't clean and shiny silver color, it is contaminated. Clean or replace as needed.
