Maybe a new part?  Lower Idle Stabilizer Bearing?

Sounds like someone was playing with the vacuum system for some reason. Is
there normally any kind of restrictor on that hose?

When I did my conversion from AC to Subie I had to create a restrictor on my
cannister line.  A wooden bead with a small hole drilled through it.
