I'd be slightly surprised if covering the intake worked.  A friend of
mine tried it on a VW diesel once, and the diesel pulled enough vacuum
to warp the plastic parts of the intake tract until they leaked enough
air to keep it running.  I also once forgot to remove a plastic sandwich
bag I'd taped over the air cleaner opening of a diesel VW Vanagon, after
washing the engine.  The engine popped the bag at idle without even
hesitating.  This was a little 1.6L NA.
