Im just saying its worth checking your vac hoses first before starting to dismantle things.
Mine was the one from the rear of the air filter.

Thx for that. That reminds me of an 850 auto I bought off ebay a few years ago. It was cutting out when coming off the accelerator & when I got home I found that there was a massive split in one of the air hoses! How the previous owner hadn't noticed & dealt with it before I can't fathom! A few pieces of duck tape as a quick fix and all was good until I got a proper replacement.
