Possible hose connection to the afm or the afm boot or one of the larger
tubes in the same area is popping open.  With the engine running at about
2000 rpm CAREFULLY move that stuff around.

An odd ball item that can cause the same symptoms is a fuel filter with a
lot of water condensation sitting at the low end of it.
