Default Dumb question -hose under TB

What's the hose for that runs right under the TB? In the process of cleaning it and I either broke it or it was broken. It hooked in here.


It originates here.



Guessing I need to fix this before reinstalling th TB. Could this have had an affect on idle? Did a search but didn't find anything on it. This is on a 1985. Thanks

You have a diagram on the radiator cover on the drivers side that shows it goes to the purge canister. It's a vacuum line so connect it back together, it will affect the idle. You can get line and connectors at Advance Auto, that's where I got mine.
