Please Help Identify this part
I have been having a sporadic problem with loss of acceleration and jerking when using a high gear at lower speed. I was going to replace the fuel filter, maybe fuel pump, and MAF sensor. Anyway, I touched one of my vacume lines by accident and it just came right off 
.I checked the rest and most of them are rotted to crap. Broken tips, no flex, etc...
This guy is also rotted but I have no idea what it's called or what to ask for at the store.

I don't see anything broken in either picture. Any broken or leaking hoses ought to be replaced. You buy them in bulk, normally, not by application. The second picture seems to feature a check valve, but I can't see that it is defective or broke, or what it is connected to. When the fuel pump begins to fail and/or the fuel filter starts to clog, they begin by failing to supply all the fuel needed. If either were failing, you would be having bigger drive ability problems at higher engine speeds, rather than just when you are lugging the engine.

There was also another line that is directly under this one. That one was broken as well. I'm still having the issue when "lugging" the engine, but replacing these two took care of the occasional stumbling under load. No idea if that makes sense or not but it just did.
