First of all, PLEASE use punctuation so its not so hard to understand everything you are trying to say. Secondly, do you have a check engine light on? Lastly, go to Autozone or someplace like it and get some more hose and the little plastic nipples needed to splice hoses together with and put it back like it was.

Check for vacuum leaks near the area where you found the dangling hose end. While the engine is at idle, lightly mist the air with WD-40 and see if there is a up change in rpm. If so, the opening is near. Check around the charCoal canister for open ports.
