Looks like a vacuum or some kind of emissions line.

I would replace it but doesn't look like a big deal.

I'd hope thats not a fuel line and doubt it is. Maybe PVC equalization tube or something...especially if it connects to a valve cover.

Car run ok?

EDIT...you said HOSE but that looks like electrical? Does it have wires inside the loom?

i didnt say it was electrical and no its not a fuel line I turned on the car and saw faint smoke coming from it, I've actually seen it before but couldn't figure out what it was, I've been driving with it "messed up" for a while now, i guess. Since I didn't just happen today i'm sure.

I think I saw a write up on it, if somebody could tell me what it's called I can search for it.

ok so I found it, its the breather hose. Is this even required? Couldn't I just get a K&N breather and just get rid of the hose?
