Yes that vacum leak would totally do it.

 

so that hose could just be the issue where the cruise control hose is totally ripped and not even on? So just replace the hose and see if it fixes it?

 

No, that won't fix it. It is a part of the cruse control system and has nothing to do with your problem. Fixing the hoses will fix your cruise control, though.

 

Seriously? He is already confused enough.....

 

The cruise runs off vacum, depending on which vacum line is unhooked it will effect idle.
Yes he should replace the hose, it may or may not fix his issue.
I should have been more specific.
And please dont call me Shirley.

 

fixed!!!! thanks guys, it was the .89cents hose from autozone that fixed it. The replaced with new hose, started it right up and idle excellent, THANKS AGAIN (knock on wood, lets hope i dont write back tomorrow with the same problem)

 

so was it the cruise control hose?

 

yes, it is, it was the cruise control hose

 

It will come back. The cruise system is completely independant of the engine vacuum. There is a vacuum pump under the jack that has a line running to the tee by the throttle. It then goes to the bladder that controls the throttle linkage, and through the firewall to the brake switch.

Wait a couple of days.... merely a coincedence..

Spike- I never called you Shirley. I called you Tina.
