  • Did anyone ever answer your question? I have the EXACT same problem. My vacuum hose came off the engine and when I replaced it, my idle began to act up and almost stall the car.
  • I also have the same problem. Anybody got an answer?
  • I placed the rubber end of the vacuum hose to the engine just under the brake fluid resevoir. I placed a cable tie on it tight so it wouldn't come off again or allow air in from the loose fit. Problem solved.
  • When the vacuum hose comes off the idle air control valve closes to compensate for the air leaking into the intake manifold. If the thottle body or the idle air control valve are dirty the idle air control valve can stick closed. The fix is easy. If you can change your oil you can fix this problem. 1)Replace the vacuum hose fitting. Do not just put the old one back on. It will come off again. NAPA #2-624 and two 3 inch pieces of vacuum tubing. $3.00 2)Remove the throttle body, clean, and replace using a new gasket. NAPA #FPG 60948 $2.00 The details on removing the throttle body: 1)Remove the air intake hose, two clamps and one electrical plug. Do not pry the electrical plugs apart, find the release on the plugs, they are all different. 2)Remove three electrical plugs from the throttle body. Do not pry them, they will come off easy if properly released. 3)Remove the cruise control cable. This cable slides on a T fitting. Do not pry it off or it will break. 4)Remove the throttle cable. This is a ball fitting. Gently pry it off. 5)Remove the four bolts from the throttle body. Out of space. Have fun.
