He blew a boot/hose off the intercooler probably..... open the hood - he'll find it easily. Clean the inside of the hose/boot and spray it with women's hair spray, reinstall.

When it did it on mine I was back on the road in 10 minutes..... had tools with me. But the metal clamp dented the heck out of my hood! Was lucky...under warranty. Ford replaced the hood.

A boot could be cracked also.
