A coupe of things you might look at is the rubber hose from the engine to
the underbody steel line. Broken motormount bolts might have let the
powertrain shift enough under panic-braking to separate the line at either the
engine or the underbody connection. Those rubber lines are constantly oil-soaked
and tend to get brittle & crack on their invisible undersides.
Another is whether the throttle cable popped out of it's holder on the
cylinder head, increasing the idle. Fixing the fast-idle only means
retightening/replacing the vacuum hose or the throttle cable end into its holder, but if
it happened 'cause the motormounts are loose, that's a secondary thing....
Good luck- J Deryke
