I hoisted the engine out of the stang yesterday...and found that one of the egr hoses was badly split down at the nipple on the EGR tube. It was surely leaking.

Would this cause a vaccuum leak? I'm not really sure of what kind of air goes through there.

The reason I ask is because I've had a very very uneven idle and got codes for lean conditions a few times but replacing the TPS, IAC, MAF all w/ new never helped...so I'm wondering if this was the cause.

It should cause a high EGR flow code. I never had idle issues when I had EGR issues.
