I am getting ready to put new plugs into my 2002 SR5 and during my preps, I saw a problem with this hose. Not only does it have a crack/tear in it at the mounting point, but is also does not have a clamp. Here's a close up of the hose:
Here is the location in the engine bay from the passenger side:
Sorry for the crappy Photoshop work, not easy to pick a color that is legible against the engine background.
Any idea what this hose is called and/or does?
I've never replaced a hose before, so do you have any advise on how to go about it? Do I just walk into auto parts shop with the hose and ask them to match it or what?
Any advice appreciated in advance!
