Default Please help with my lt1!

My ENGINE is causing my car to TREMBLE LIKE CRAZY. Once the car reaches the highest temperature and it sits either at a stop light(or just sitting there, or parking) the rpm gets lower(its at about 600rpm at a stop light, A4 Car). And all of this happened AFTER driving through flooded streets, lol. Do you guys have any idea of what it could be? Opti or something? I also noticed a broken hose near the distributor area? Could that be it? Thanks. I just can't take it with all of these problems! Any help would REALLY be appreciated.

broken hose....possibly a vacume line, that will cause the car to miss.Check it. Let your opti dry out for awile if that does not fix it.

or it could have been an opti vent and you sucked water right threw the hose into the opti.

Whenever the car is cold, yeah, it doesnt do it. Just only when it reaches the highest temperature. So are there any websites that show information about vacuum lines, especially the ones near the distributor?
