I would guess that the connector is very hard to find so has anyone come up with an alternative (besides the oil catch can) to replacle the connector ?

Don,
I assume we're talking about the rubber piece that holds the PVC valves themselves, and to which the hardline to the front of the plenum is attached?
Anyway, you could pull the hardline out of the rubber PVC piece and hold your thumb against the open end of the hardline and see if your idle is affected.
If that doesn't affect the idle, then pressing a hard, vinal-covered (3-ring) notebook tight across the open air horn while idling will kill the motor, UNLESS there is a vacuum "leak" somewhere. If the motor kills (try it more than once) then the problem may be with the TPS votage or crud in the TB, or IAC crudded up...for starters.
Asking a stupid question... Is the idle actually "fast", or are you only referring to the tack reading???
