That can be a very simple thing costing maybe a dollar to fix for
something like a cracked rubber hose similar in size to the hoses used
for squirting windshield washer on your windshield. Or it can be a
vacuum leak in one of the sensors or components like the EGR valve or
similar that costs a little more to fix.
You need to carefully inspect all the vacuum lines that run around by
the engine to see if anything is obviously cracked or disconnected first.
