Default 97 Civic vacuum leak problem after removal of cruise control

i have a 97 honda civic with the y8 motor. when i had the engine out rebuilding i removed the cruise control. well i noticed the other day the vacuum line that went from the cruise control to the back side of the intake manifold is open. but when i plug it with my finger the engine wants to die. should i plug the hole then re-time the engine. since when it was put back together it got timed with a vacuum leak? any help would be great.

Plug the nipple, and then reset the ECU. You can only adjust the ignition timing when the engine idles to spec.
