Broken vacuam hose, check PVC hose and power brake hose. One possiblity is:you need to check the coolant fluid level. DO NOT OPEN the radiator when it is hot. Hot Coolant WILL scald! Let the engine cool down and check the coolant reservoir. Re-fill the reservoir slowly away from your face. Cold coolant going into a hot engine will boilback and spurt out of the tank. If refilling the coolant does not remedy the problem, it may be more serious and need a mechanic.
