Default Help Engine cutting out at ideal!!!

Hi guys, today I was driving to the store and my engine started cutting out at ideal really bad and running real choppy. I check the plugs coils and injectors already and they all seem to be fine, what else do you guys think I should look for?

Cutting out at idle*

What do you mean cutting out? Stalling? Sputtering?

It tuned, and I have Unichip for EMS, but thats not the problem because I unplug it and used the stock ecu and it still did the same thing.

Does it stay on if you stay on the gas pedal a bit?AFR guage?

The hose on the back attached to the intake manifold popped off mine and it would die immediatly when Idling.

Yes If I stay on the gas it will run, but it still runs a little choppy.

No CEL, I will check the hoses thought, because I did have my intake manifold off once. Any other ideas if its not that?

Thanks for the help by the way.

generally if a car dies at idle for any reason it's a vac leak.
