Question Airhose

Does anyone know how to find the airhose on the engine ? I have a 'studdering' problem, at idle, like a cylinder is not firing. It sputters as you take off, then smooths out as revs increase. Car has new dist cap, rotor, new ignition wires, new plugs, and new fuel filter.

Dunno about 'air hose' - sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

Thanks for your interest guys. I've got the car running very smoothly, but, after it heats up it will 'stutter' at idle. I don't know how to test for vacuum leaks but I've been reading up on the different techniques and I will give it a go. Wish me luck. I originally read to check the airhose on another site that's why I asked ??
