guys i need help with a vacunm

well let me start.okay u know the square looking thing in the front of the passenger side vavle cover that the water lines run thourgh it for the heater?okay i removed it baecause i live in florida and i dont nedd it but there was this lil plastic hose that gos connected to it and runs to the a/c box im guessing its a vacum.okay wheni turn my a.c on and im at a red light my car idles bad but not horrible u feel the vibration.so im guessing it has to do something with that hose.when i turn the a/c on it sucks in so what or were can i connect this to get rid of my problem

i would just plug it, i would guess by the bad idle that it is the line coming from the vacume source, not a line that needs a vacume source.

put your finger over the end of it, does it suck? if it is sucking, you need it plugged.

bad idle can be alot of things. from vacume leaks, to a fouled spark plug, to dirty injectors.
