Car wont stay on!


Ok so i have recently been installing a windstar intake and there has been a few problems on the way but has been handled with Steve from VAP auto. Hes a big help and hes very smart. But anyways so today i went to go start my car and my car will turn over stay on for like 3 seconds then turn off. If i play with the throttle it will stay on but as soon as i stop she turns off. well i decided to take off the intake tube and try it so i did and she stayed on. Well i kept her running and i put my intake tube up the the throttle body and pretty much as soon as the intake tube hit the throttle body she dies. Any ideas?

the tube is cracked or has a small leak so the vacuum is pulling it closed and choking the engine would be my guess.

buy some new hose and replace it
