Just wondering why in the hell that vac line would blow off. I went out to watch some street races out in the country and on the way abck into town, I noticed a HISS comming from under the hood after a quick pull through 3rd through the top of 5th on the highway (not racing, just showing my passenger why he should boost his Civic). I pulled into a parking lot and the car stumbeled and died. It was easy to pop it back on, but odd how it blew off a hard rubber tube that has a clamp on it. Any thoughts? I need to double check it in the morning. That could turn out to be the reason my car is running like a$$!!

Mine did that for a while too. Only when I was taking off hard and got some wheel hop, or ocasionally when I was drifting. I ended up just replacing the hose with a brand new one and put a new clamp on it and I never had a problem again.
