Engine Problem Hoses? Need advice

So I was driving along and i heard a popping noise and the car started to die. i looked under the hood and a big hose at the back of the engine bay was disconnected... from the throttle body I think. It seems that the clamp didnt hold it on well enough. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Maybe hard hoses different type of clamp?

i would first try to just reconnect it and tighten the clamp. the clamp may have got a bit loose.

T-bolt clamps from NAPA work well. I had mine come off twice there, and just re-clamped them on. if you lose a front IC pipe, good luck finding the clamp, as those always seem to be a mile back on the road when that pipe blew!

+1 on the t-bolt clamp. Blew mine off a few times before I got the t-bolt clamp.
