any idea if that was why it wouldn't start?
actually started up once and then immediately died, after that it would crank but not start, I could smell gas though so I suppose it got flooded after that first time it died

Have you tried plugs and wires? What is the color of the flame? Obviously it is getting gas and we will leave that question for later. Have you tried clearing the flood mode by hitting the gas pedal all the way to the floor and crank?

The black hose 
PCV, the tube covered with the silver blanket is the EGR pipe.
If you know that you have fuel, then pull a plug and check for spark. If you have both......is should run.......most of the time.....

If the fresh air feed was disconnected, it shouldn't effect the engine start even if the resultant opening in the valve cover was plugged. Did you post your no start problems in another thread on the forum?
