Default Loose hose after mod install

Went out to car today after just getting it back, and noticed a loud blowing noise. I popped the hood and found a 3/4 inch loose hose comming up from the front bottom off the drivers side.The hose is blowing alot off air out.The car is having a hard time getting a idle, it wants to stall out.I had a cam and headers installed along with custom tuning.

Sounds like the AIR pump hose. Is it the same one that snakes along the drivers side fender well?

My thought exactly. Check along your fender wall there you should see where it goes. If its blowing anyway.

That is the AIR pump hose.It connects to the bottom side of the air box (air filter housing). <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
