Default strange idle after CAI?

built a cold air intake for my jeep day before yesterday, and yesterday going down my hill the jeep was idling strange like it was about to die, and the rpms seemed to drop when I hit the brakes going down the hill. Any idea what it could be? I'm just bewildered at what it could be

Vacuum leak somewhere.

I try to stay a active as I can nowadays, I'm just so busy now tho lol.

And I guess I can blame my sucky weak lines for that. broke one in two places taking the airbox out. Looks like I've got a few rolls of black tape in my future or new lines if I can't fix them thanks for the help
