Welcome to Automotive Forums MINDYSUE

You probably have a vaccum leak there. My guess would be close to the EG valve since it was worked on (I assume when the problem started)
If you can take a can of WD40, and start spraying the vaccum hoses in the area you might hear the motor suddenly rev up. If you do the problem is in the area that you just sprayed.
Good luck, they can be hard to find
