After getting new motor in ran great for a day and started dieing... popped the hood and the rubber tube ataching the throttle body to the manifold was collapsed..... fixed the hose and it ran great again for a whole day and then started dieing again...idles fine and will start back up after about 10 secs and drives great in reverse but not in any other gear. Please help

The throttle body is bolted to the intake manifold. There's no tube between them. Can you post a photo of the tube you're referring to?
