and the

SOLUTION..

Yesterday my car started missing at idle (even stalled out)

I couldn't figure out what was going on till today when

I looked at the vacuum gauge and it was reading 0

Then it dawned on me.

Reattached the line to the engine and all is well.

Now to find a tiny hose clamp.

I had almost the same problem here yesterday in my 95 Voyager. While looking under the hood I spotted a naked vacuum port next to the fire wall. Reached around with my hand and found a vacuum line hanging free. Put it back on and my check engine light stays off now!
