Default 1992 xj no acceleration

so today i was getting on the fwy passing my normal death wobble speed of about 35 mph. as i was getting on the freeway shifting gears i noticed i couldnt get into the flow of traffic.

my foot was to the floor in 3rd and 4th and i just couldnt keep accelerating.

get off the freeway to notice a hissing - pull over, cracked exhaust repair. no biggie i figured it was from the gnarly DW, but while i was under there i noticed a rubber hose that ran along the passenger side of the vehicle was just loose and hanging there.. for the life of me i cant find where it goes. *any ideas?

pop the hood see the breather hose popped loose put that back on and tried again.

still couldnt keep up with traffic even on the city streets. i mean i could it just took me longer than normal...

any ideas on the poor acceleration?

i think i have the death wobble parts ready to go just need to be installed.

Are you lifted with bigger tires? Or stock? How fast are you getting up to?
