i started my mondeo 1998 yesterday and it made a noise like a hose had come off. now it wont idle properly and keeps cutting out. i just tried to start it and the revs went up and then it cut out. it was suggested that it was spark plugs? sounds like a hose is off somewhere but i cant see any off

can u hear hissing?theres a vacume pipe down near the gearbox that splits on mondeos but usually u get lack of power too.just check the thin rubber vacume pipes on the engine make sure non are split.
