looks liket he vacuum line that hooks into a T under the air intake tube. 1 part goes to the intake under the throttle body, the 2nd to the fuel pressure reg and the other part of the T to that line. Common issue for plastic lines to break, just go to auto parts store and match up size

Default Broken Vacuum Line

From Brutal's Description, it appears to be this line:

I quickly did this with my camera, so the quality is not so good, but I think you will understand it.

I'll take off the plastic covers and trace your line in a bit. Then, I'll post a new video or photo showing it's location.

This new video shows what it's connected to, but unfortunately, I have no idea what it is, I'm sorry. I will say, that I never like to have an Electrical or Vacuum line disconnected anywhere as I know it will eventually effect 'Something'.

I did turn on my Cruise Control yesterday, and it set the car into Fail Safe Mode, but I assumed it was another vacuum line, or a dirty intake, pcv valve, etc (I had this before)... But, maybe it was this. I'll test drive later to verify.

I'm really embarrassed about how dirty the engine is right now. It's been parked outside, and I've been driving in the Rain/Snow, so it's gotten bad. Oh well, such is life for now.

Also, for future people searching, you might change the title of this thread to "Loose Vacuum Line, Where does it go?" just so it's easier for them to find.

Now, if I've somehow missed the correct Vacuum Line twice, let me know and I will look again. Good Luck!

EDIT: Cruise Control now Works, so I guess this line was the problem.
