Default 1997 XJ VDP Cruise control valve / Why I hear Air?

I have a question to clear up this issue or non-issue:

My cat is stalling during braking/red lights is due to an vac/air leak.
During checking all the air lines for visual damages, when i squeeze the cruise control valve i hear air escaping in the LH bay area.

Should I Hear anything? (Plus the bolts were loose, so i tightened them.

Thanks for any input in advance!

Vacuum line on the hidden back side of the fuel pressure regulator ?

The picture you have is the vacuum operated throttle actuator. The hose goes to a pump/motor controller in the left front area. It needs to be open to atmosphere when it is NOT pulling the throttle during 'cruise-control' or automatic speed control.

I feel i have an air / vacuum line leak based on stalling when letting off of the gas, fuel issue, long crank when it did start, now its not running. Maybe i need to start a new thread. I did find corroded connection harnesses under the back seat, plus i am waiting for new plugs to arrive, but this thing has been in the hands of someone who did not take care of it before i purchased.

Does the cruise control have to be properly functioning in order to maintain proper vac/air conditions?
