Default help please

i just recently trimmed my stock bumper. and i was in the process of moving the canister that sits in the bumper and i was loosening the wires that connect to it from under the hood and one of the skinny ones cracked into two! so i was wondering if this would affect anything if i drove it like this and what it is!

thanks for the help

,jordan

This is a vaccum line running to the vaccum canister. That line needs to be fixed, a splice can be purchased if it is a soft line. If it is a hard line purchase a small amount of vaccum line that fits over the broken line or better yet replace the entire line. Usually if it breaks if it is old and brittle.
