Re: Sudden Engine Cutout During Warm-up??

OK, so nobody laugh now... remember I'm still learning. I noticed today that there is a hose that enters the side of the engine just below the exhaust manifold and it is disconnected. Just hanging there and angles down towards the exhaust system perhaps? Is this part of the engine vacuum system in some way? A return of some sort? I know for most of you guys it's elementary but if it is what I think it is would that contribute to shutting down as the engine warms up? I feel so backwards on occasion with engines. I'm a certified master mechanic for machines of the motor-less persuasion. Bicycles not cars. But I'm trying to learn as much as I can like a sponge.
