There's a thread in here about that stupid little hose causing all sorts of problems. I tried looking for the thread but had no luck. I'll keep searching for you though and post a link.

thats it, its the pcv hose that leads to the back of the intake manifold. i recently had the same problem only my hose would collapse whenever the motor was running.

Thanks! I am going to replace this vacuum line. I hope that this solves the idle issue. One question I do have is how do you get the clamp off the hose? Do you just squeeze it together so that it will release?

Yes ^^^, then slide it up out of the way.

Just a vacuum line. It will just slide out of place and then you can replace it with some hard plastic line shoved in the rubber line. That would be cheaper than to replace the whole line with the OEM part. I did mine for free. I got some plastic vacuum lines from our driveability guy. Focus' do that all the time. The lines just get old and get weak and collaspe on themselves.
