Find the leak and you will be OK.
I sprung a leak one day on the Harbour Bridge and was lucky I wasn't killed.

I think over the period of time vacuum leaks are inevitable on cars. Unless you park your car in lockup garage all the time.
I know that theres vacuum leak on my kat as I can hear it and there is throttle hang as well. So, I tried to wiggle and later pulled all vacuum hoses to see if they are loose. One of the hoses didn't feel alright so, pulled it a just a bit hard and it came off. It was partly holding and partly off.
This was the culprit. The vacuum hose that was off.
It runs along firewall behind engine and connect to
HVAC that is mounted on firewall. On some kats it is mounted in UIM. Its hard to see it and accessing it is far thing.
Fixed that hose and everything is back to normal. No throttle hang, no over revving, no leak sound. Reset the
ECU so that it forgets that it use to and has to pump extra fuel.
What a relief... all happies now
