1985 Dies and Whistles (Not with a bang, but a whimper)

I don't know if it's just making fun of me when it dies, but it does whistle for about a minute. I really think it's trying to get my goat, and it often has done just that. It will run fine for a week, a month, sometimes a couple months. Then the idle will go down and the car stops and the whistle begins. I can't tell where in the engine area the whistle is located, but it is in the engine. (I believe!) I'll let the car set for a couple of hours and then it will start again and run fine. However, lately(since it is starting to get warmer) it does not run as long now as it did before. The temp., is fine. No one seems able to find the problem. Has anyone ever had this problem? If you have, how did you solve it? HELP!
My goat has been gotten and I'm running out of them.

Do a search on shutter valve and you will find you answer. The search button is at the right side of the top title bar.
