first of all, it sounds like you've got either a bad vacuum pump or you recently had its service, and when they changed the oil filter. They knocked loose or damaged a vacuum line, check all your lines, make sure they are connected, if they are. You have a bad vacuum the kit for the vacuum only cost about $12 and the overhaul is easy.
