The engine ran but there was a air leak sound.

T'was some type of vaccum hose near the rear of the motor that was cut. A piece was still stuck on the hose. I took out my pocket knife (always carry a knife) and cut the hose evenly. I also cut a clip so I could extend it a little more. Off to the factory tool box to get the 10mm wrench to disconnect the battery (clear codes and reset transmission). Top tip, keep zip ties in your car. Connected the hose and zip tied it for back up. Connected the battery. Ran smooth as eggs with no error codes.

I always carry that same knife and zip ties. I broke the tip of the knife off flat so I could use it as a screw driver.
