Exclamation cant hold idle

So i just installed an nrg quick release and i had driven it for a few before the problem. I was driving to school adn then out of no where my horn went off so i stopped and my car was idling just fine. i turn it off but then i turnd it on again to go and park it and it was still fine til i disconnected my hub to take off the horn wire thing and once i took that off and tried to turn on my car the car wont hold idle. its having a hard time turning on and when it does it wont hold idle. oh and my nrg quick release wire for the horn (yellow) is like burnt or started to get burnt/melt. btw its a momo hub + nrg quick release + nardi steering wheel if that helps

Talking

I don't know what the quick release or horn would have to do with it. (Not saying that it doesn't have something to do with it but just saying I wouldn't know...)

I know that I blew off a vacuum hose one day during regular driving and that caused my car to die when idling. Perhaps the whole steering wheel thing is just a coincidence? Have you checked for VAC leaks?

Cheers,
Cody

Horn stuck now car doesnt run

oo let me clarify. when the horn went off it was stuck and just kept going for quite some time. while the horn was stuck i turned it off and on again and it ran and idled fine. shut the car off again. unplug the horn that is stuck and was still goin off. rapped something around it to keep it from goin off again and the car barely started wouldnt hold idle and has ALMOST 0 power. the horn wire on the hub looks slightly cooked. oo and speed ill check for leaks but i find it unlikely to be the problem cause it happend so quickly. thnx! i think its a short of some kind.
