Default CEL and spudder on 98 golf 2.0

So today driving around in the rain the car started to spudder and the cel started flashing...

car would drive for about a mile or two or three and the light would stop flashing and the car would start to drive fine again...

the car as it sat at idle would lope as if it had a cam in it...

well on the way back the car did it again...and it quit...

after popping the hood when i got home i noticed one of the vacuum lines had been broken in half...so i replaced it and no more leak...

the car runs fine at idle now and i have not noticed any hesitation or flashing cel...

it only seemed to do it in the rain...so im curious if this was just due to the vacuum leak or if maybe the rain had some play in this as well...

what do you guys think aside from going and getting the cel code number...


all help is greatly appreciated!
