you could have a bad brake booster leaking vaccum internally, if it still does it pinch the vaccum hose with vise grips and see if it comes back up.

The brake booster hose hes talking about, is a hose that comes off from your brake master cylinder.(The thing you put brake fluid into).Pinch the hose off when your car is struggling to run, and see if it helps.
