thats your cruise control cable, is it important? well your car will run fine with out it, but you won't have cruise. I also have to wonder why it was disconnected in the first place, dose it not work?
hope this helps

Cruise control? Psssh, that's what your right foot is for. Yank it out and plug the vacuum lines. Call it 'weight reduction'.
