Vacuum leak?

My 5 cylinder didn't backfire/cough on start up, but did as I would
accelerate away.  A vacuum hose from my evap. canister fell off.

Question on why do I sometimes get a backfire from my 2.2 GOWESTY WBX.
yesterday I drove the 88 gl Westy an 1.5 hr pulled over to check my GPS,
shut the engine off. Then 2 minutes later started it and "bang" it
backfired, it did start. Shut it down and tried again same thing. Drove home
it didn't occur again. Any thoughts of what is going on? The new  Engine has
about 5000 miles on it. Maybe to many mice running around in there.
