Had a customer's 2017 F-150 come in with a weird idle, turned out to be a $3 vacuum line behind the intake that had melted on the EGR tube.

Always figured those weird idle problems were something big. That's wild it was just a cheap hose lol.

You know what's funny? I read a whole article last year about how often the smallest, cheapest part is the real culprit. They said mechanics call them "fifteen dollar parts with a thousand dollar labor charge" because you spend so long looking for the big issue. It's crazy how a tiny air leak from a cracked hose can make a car run so rough. Makes you wonder how many people have paid for major repairs when the fix was simple.
