The vacuum issues that arose from the broken bellows could easily be 100% of the problem.

The MAF reports the quality, temp and density, of the air in the intake. You broke the rubber bellows at a point after the MAF, and this causes the engine to run poorly -- it is running lean.

You've reported that the problem is fixed, I'm just saying that the hose (duct) with the flexible bellows was the problem.

It's not clear to me that you were doing some preventative work and actually created a problem, or if the problem occurred spontaneously due to old and rotted rubber.
