hose identification

[blake at clockworm.com (Blake Irvin)]

it broke when i closed the hood on it by accident (the plastic 90- 
degree bit only) - i had it unplugged so i could get at the battery  
and grounds more easily, when i was debugging the electrical system.

i tried just covering the hole with tape (the hole in the dist.-to- 
throttle-body tube) but that didn't change any of my starting symptoms.
