Default RE: lol. its a hose leak?

A vacuum leak will cause an engine to run lean on a carburated engine and idle rough. I don't know enough about the EFI to know for sure but I suspect the computer would try to compensate for a lean mixture or give fault code (engine light) and or more fuel. My 92 T-bird HO 5.0 EFI has a lumpy idle and it doesn't have a vacuum leak.
The high RPM type cam has valve overlap atlow RPM meaning the intake opens before the exhaust is fully closed. This causes the lumpy idle. Again I don't know why some there said cams wouldn't do that on a late model. If they have valve overlap it's gonna do it no matter what.
I wouldn't cause your engine to have a vacuum leak and run lean, you can burn a piston or valves doing that.
