When you open the door the plunger is released (comes out) and grounds sending the signal to chime, however this should only happen if your lights are on or key is in.

If the mass air sensor (MAS) is malfunctioning, it could be telling the control unit that a lot more air is entering the engine than the true amount of air. So more gas is distributed to the engine to match the mass air reading. When you unplug the PVC from the hose, you are introducing more air and are one step closer to equaling what the possibly malfunctioning MAS is telling the control unit. Connect all hoses and sensors. Disconnect the MAS. It will be that sensor, just after the air filter. This will put the MAS readings into fail-safe (general parameters) . If this MAS is reading incorrectly, the engine should be smooth when the MAS is unplugged. If this fixes your issue, there is special cleaner to spray and clean the sensor. It may not be bad. It may just have a coating on it (inside the air intake tube). I've seen a feather on the mass air sensor shut down an engine completely
