Default problems with converter.

hey guys, just finished installing a tci sf3000 converter. was wondering if any of you guys have experienced this problem: at idle rpms start jump, when coming to a stop car shuts off. seems almost as if there is a vaccum leak or something. when tranny was out i seen a vacumm-t two side were connected but one side was open, did i miss a hose or do you guys know whats going on. please any help would be appreciated.

There is a vacuum line coming out the back of the intake. It goes off to the drivers side where it T's off. Check to make sure all lines are connected.

Might need to do the idle relearn procedure.
I believe its

Disconnect battery
Turn ingntion on/off
Reconnect
start car
2 mins idle in park
2 mins idle in drive
2 mins idle in reverse
