Sounds to me like it _could_ be a defective TBV (bypass valve) or a 
rupture in the small diameter, rubber vac hose connected to it. Both 
of these are relatively inexpensive (TBV is approx. $40) and easy 
fixes. Both (valve and tubing) are likely to need replacement on most 
cars with over 80 kmiles.
