vacumm line from plenum

i cracked a vacumm line from the passanger side of the plenum that runs in a wire harness along the fire wall - i can net get to it to fix it - what does this control? It goes in the same wire harness as the one coming off the "heater valve"

fix it/ plug it because it is a vacuum leak. will cause a lot of weird problems with your engine performance.

You can use just a regular piece of rubber hose to slip both sides into.
