Intro, and of course, a possible noob question...

Hello all

Got a great deal on this little 6 Speed CL230K, its an '03, pretty basic. White on beige cloth, chrome 16's (lol) and thats about it. After checking out fine, I noticed that there is a vacuum hose coming off what I believe is the idle or intake, not sure. It is located in the front drivers side of the engine bay, and has a strong vacuum - when plugged, the engine idle decreases. Every once in a while, it will have a high rpm idle, but goes away soon afterwards.

Thanks for the help, I searched but was not successful.

Here she is...

and the suspect...

Nice looking car. Use the link above to replace the hose ^. It's a very common problem on these cars and an easy DIY.
