99 is new enough to be OBD2 (by a long shot :-); if it's drivable enough to take to the local Autozone, they'll plug in and read your code, and tell you what you have wrong.

If you think you have a hose popped off, I'll bet you do, and it's vacuum..

Get the check engine codes read for free at an autozone and bring those 4 digit codes back to us and then we can diagnose.
