Best Answer

This could be a few things, especially if the vehicle is idling too low. Check your PVC hose, particularly the elbows for wear and tear or any holes or collapsing. You can repair these temporarily by wiping them off well to remove dirt and wrapping in electrical tape until you are able to get the part replaced.
