missing air filter hose? 200

That hose needs to be connecting the air filter to the mass airflow meter. Driving without an air cleaner greatly increases the wear rate of certain internal engine parts, ie: piston rings, pistons and the cylinder bore. It can also shorten the life of the mass airflow meter ($180.00 or so)and cause some subtle drivability problems. Fix it as soon as you can if you don't want to greatly reduce the life of your car.
