Um, if you only have 1 vacume line on it, then that is your problem. You need to have ALL the vacume lines hooked up.
a Vacume leak is exactly what your problem sounds like.

There's more ways to have a vacuum leak then just a vacuum line. Gaskets between the TB and the UIM and between the UIM and LIM. Injector O rings and grommets can wear out and cause vac leaks. Start & die problems can usually be traced to faulty AFM connections or vacuum leaks.
