Yep is runs leaner with air being drawn directly into the inlet manifold which is why the idle changes

If you are connecting something to that nipple and it runs lean, you need to check whatever it is you've connected for an air leak.

What you are describing sounds like it's running lean, which is disastrous for the Scoob engine
