what is this thing called
so i was driving my car yesterday and before i reach my destination
i noticed there was a knocking noise coming from the engine compartment and the the idle started to be shaky abit
then i opened the hood
to check for any abnormal things . i noticed there are
a small wire which has been Slashed into two pieces![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)

What you appear to have marked is a vacuum hose. Check this page to see if you can find and highlight what it actually is if it isn't a vacuum line coming out of that pressure switch. http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/M104WireHarness
