Default brake vacumme hose

guys i did the sea foam thing to my truck to see if it would improve my mpg (11.5) my truck now only stays on if im driving it or have it on D (drive) as soon as I put it in P (park) the rpms start bouncing around from 800 - 400 till it eventually shuts off. I noticed that if i unplug the brake vacumme hose the problem goes away...

any ideas?

make sure the vaccum hose is properly put on both ends...could have came loose a little just try it again and if not try disconnecting the negative side of the battery! basically negative battery disconnected for an hour is the auto reset button!

I dont normally do that, but since i knew that at idle the truck would shut off I wanted to see if the truck would stay on neutral.
