94 chevy vortex.4x4 changed sending unit in july.pump a year ago,filter last week.i give her gas and she blogs out if i baby the throttle she goes good.i changed my air hoses today and notice the air hose going into the intake collapsed when the truck is in idle.and my 4 wheeld rive wouldnt not click on until i move a lil bit in drive or reverse.then it would go in 4 wheel.the guy at the part store told me that its the air sumthing on the transfer case.its a vacum i guess.would that cause the intake air hose to collapse?also did plugs and wires cap rotor.

What "air hoses" are you talking about? How large are they? Where do they go to? If they are the vacuum hoses, then they should not collapse at an idle. If they do, it is possible that you used the wrong hoses for the application.

The term 'air hoses' is a bit ambiguous and confusing. You mightpost pictures of the hoses you are talking about so we can tell which ones you are referring to.

This is typically indicative of a bad ignition coil...

If you're spraying starting fluid into it to start, you better check your fuel pressure.
