After putting my street wheels on, I noticed a strange idle and hesitation when running full throttle.

Here is the vid clip showing this strange idle issue.

So after some thought and research online I looked and found a vacuum hose had popped off even though I had a zip tie on it. Guess it wasn't as tight as it should of been. Going to put some hose clamps on it later this week.

Just thought I would share.

Yes, its a quite common occurrence for the vacuum hose at the fuel pressure regulator to pop off. Make sure the hose is zip tied securely. Another option would be to obtain a smaller internal diameter vacuum line and use zip ties. Be very careful as a loose hose there will cause lean conditions.
