I heard the one on the right was IWE. either way, it was unhooked.

Now im about to go attempt to reattach the break booster hose. I wish there were a way to get clamps on these, but barely able to even put my hand back there so not enough room

Yeah '04 has 2 vacuum lines back there, subsequent years have only the 1 on the driver's side...

Take it to the dealer? I believe there is a safety recall concerning the booster line falling off. Worth investigating anyway.

Default I believe that's the air intake runner control IMRC

And it is controlled by vacuum . There is lots of cussing going on about how to fix this line and change out this runner control . I have not worked on this part yet but from what I understand there is a way to work on it from underneath but still not easy . But its the cause of many vacuum leaks .
I imagine replacing this part would be best to remove intake but hooking lines up still difficult and confusing if you don't get the lines exactly on the right side of the linkage .
IWE is related to 4 wheel drive actuator
