I keep forgetting to check mine, but I don't have any idle problems or anything. I'll have to remember to check it today.

Dude, zip tie it...takes 3 mins and prevents you from blowing your motor....Also replace the FP relay if you haven't yet....

use a zip tie, the clamps that look like a hook that you have to squeeze together, or you can put a little bit of loctite or super glue on the tube then put the hose back on. Either way you go it shouldnt come off again.

Mine kept on popping off. Ended up zip tying the thing. My idle was all messed up and the car drove like crap. i remembered reading about it here over a year ago. Its great to have a community!

It's prolly just the stock '08 tune. The tune from the factory sucks. Either get a tune, or Cobb AP or live with it..
