Thumbs up Stalling at idle

What up guys!!
I got the a hissing sound comming from the upper vaccum line closer to the firewall. I know the line is broken and i know this could be the issue with the stalling at idle, i just want to know if it's hard to take off so i can replace it with a high grade hose. Thanks!!

vacuum leaks are quite popular on these cars, no need to take it to a dealer, just diagnose the offending hose/fitting and DIY. eazy sneezy

Frank, replacing the vacuum hose is really simple. I normally find it easiest to use a box cutter/razor blade and score the end of the vacuum line to help with removal. From there, you can cut a new piece of line to slide in place and you are done. Should only take you 15 minutes or less to do the whole job. Get the new vacuum line on the vehicle and see how things go from there. If you still have the idle problem, let us know and we can help you from there.
