Default Acceleration Problem

I have the x type 3.0 Manual trans. I have recently replaced the radiator and had a new clutch put in at 112000. The car is not responding to the accelerator pedal like it should. I do have a bad vacuum line that I need to replace for the brake booster, but don't see how that could be related. Any suggestions? Thanks..

Default bad excelling

The bad vacuum line is the culprit. It will get worse and worse until you get a CEL and a p0174/p0175 guaranteed!

Sorry I am not to savvy on these issues, but what is a CEL. I have the vacuum line for the break booster.


Thanks

Default

CEL = Check Engine Light
MIL = Malfunction Indicator Lamp or I've heard it referenced as Multi-Indicator Light

CEL and MIL are referencing the same thing, Engine Light.

Default more fuel issues

well I replaced the brake booster vacuum line, and the top radiator hose with the new therm as well, and now I cant get the thing to start at all. The battery is drained so I have been having to jump it. It cranks, but will not fire. The fuel vacuum line has no pressure. Have not checked the filter yet.
Any help is appreciated.


Thanks
