Nah... No damage unless something would have gotten sucked into your intake but seriously doubt anything did. It's an intake vacuum line.
 
Also I have a real small filter covering mine. As long as you have something to filter the air before it enters you don't need that to be hooked up to the air intake pipe.
 
so the thick rubber line under the plug going to the throttle body is just a intake vacuum line then?
 
thanks, i was like freaking out about it, those don't blow off do they? i'm sure he just forgot to hook it back up but there isn't enough vac there to actually blow the line off is there i noticed it doesn't have a hose clamp so figure just plug it back up and good to go?
 
nm thats silly question to ask think i just pulled it off to make sure nothing stuck in there its way to long of a metal tab to come off from pressure etc, looks like he just forgot to hook it back up. thanks for the help and info
