Default How do I fix this??

The small black tube that comes off of some connector on the driver's side AIR system broke in two (see red lines for what's missing). No idea what this part is or does, and no idea what to buy to replace it? Any help would be awesome since now my SES light is on...

Take the 90° boot piece off and run to Oreilly. Find a piece of vac hose that will slip over it and buy a foot. Connect in between the broken pieces and you should be good to go.

Or for that matter, you can get new nylon line and some new ends, and make it back just like it is. You can find all that stuff hanging on cards in the area of the store where fuel filters and PCV valves live, just take what you've got and match up the sizes (line size doesn't matter, only the nipples). Either way will work fine.
