I had my booster line pulled off to replace a cable clamp on the firewall due to a melted boost gage line...and then wondered why I had a high idle after I got done. Same thing.

I know how that goes, last Friday night I quit as I was fighting with the A/C compressor at 15 til midnight. Got frustrated and said I'll deal with this garbage in the morning, in the daylight. Had the bracket on in about 15 minutes once I could actually see what I was getting hung up on.
