Take your car to autozone. Ask to use the OBDII sensor. Go to your car pull the code. Get the printout from inside the store. Come back and tells us what the code says. I mean, that's what I would do.

I wish I could help more but without knowing why you're throwing a code then I can't really help. And the pic doesn't really tell me much, espcially since I'm using a 4g93 IM now. Oh, and take a wider pic of your engine bay... perhaps that will help us figure out what's not connected.

I actually already went to autozone, the code # was P0455 which is an EVAP leak.

It says probable causes are
1. loose or missing fuel cap, which is not the problem
2. evap canister broke, hose cracked or not connected
3. Purge or vent solenoid defective
4. Vacuum leak at engine

Im pretty sure the problem is the vac line missing in the pic.

i THINK that is the evap purge solenoid... i may be wrong though. the line should be connected somewhere on the IM if i remember correctly. i think it was somewhere underneath the fuel rail where it was connected. i'd go check my car if it wasn't midnight and pouring rain outside. i will see if i can get a good look at it tomorrow.

this is what i saw, that should be connected to a long tube that goes under the car, looks to me like fuel line because before it goes under the car it connects to a metal tube

alright well tommorow i will look some more by the fuel lines and jack the car up to see what I can find from under the car. Also if you could post a pic tommorow or when ever you have time, that would probably really help
thanks,
