What does it do? I need to fix the hose going to it as it seems to have snapped somewhere up line. I took the bumper off and I disconnected it but once the bumper was off half the hose fell out.

It mounts to that location inside the bumper.

While we are at it what is this? Its disconnected and I am not going to worry about reconnecting it unless I need to. I imagine it is a sensor that measures throttle and air intake? it has a cable coming from the throttle body to it. Also the line that is disconnected is from the air box.

I figured it was a vac canister but for what? What do I gain or lose by having it working.

the canister holds vacum so your heater settings work,the other thing is the servo for your cruise control

Ok that is exactly what I figured thanks alot. My dad and I where guessing about it and he was like I bet thats why your air doesnt work. Because it comes on cold but doesnt push anything out except the defroster.
