This is on a 2001 Honda Accord EX Coupe ULEV

Ok... I think I have a vacuum leak on my car. Car starts but it is not staying on unless I give it gas. I looked under the hood and the hose above the letter E in this picture is loose (rubber gasket is worn out) and appears to be leaky (I am pretty sure it's leaking cuz of the hissing sound). Will this hose cause my car's idle to fail?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sometimes worn hoses can affect idle.

 

Simple test-- tape over the area where the leak is and see if the car idles properly. If so, do a temp fix and get a new gasket pronto.

G/L.

 

Well, the hissing was coming from the PCV valve so I replaced that, but the car still refuses to stay on.

I can start the car but it immediately dies without me giving it gas. I ruled out ignition switch since wiggling the key didn't kill that car as long as I hit gas. What else can it be?
