Clamped vacuum hose now stalling
Hello,
Today I did the wires and plugs started the car, could hear a huge vacuum leak. I realized that the hose from the timing cover into the airbox had come off so i clamped it. After closer inspection noticed none of the airbox screws were tighted plus the front bracket going from the front of the airbox to the radiator support were not bolted on, which i got new bolts and tightened. Now when i start the car it idles for about 2 seconds and dies, if i press down on the gas i can keep the car at idle. 🤔
After the tune up I did start the car and it ran without me hitting the gas but the idle was goofy based on the vacuum leak.
