2001 Mountaineer 5.0 need help identifying this tube

[infamousjax]

Hey guys! New here. Just wanted to start by saying that this site has been an invaluable resource for me as I'm trying to troubleshoot random things.

Today, I replaced my PCV valve, which is a huge pain in the butt I must say. When I got it back down there and seated correctly I noticed a tube was broken next to the large ECM connectors and figured I must have hit it by accident.

Is this anything important? Im hoping it's just my windshield washer or something.

Thanks in advance!

Crank it up. See if it has a vacuum leak or not. I won't be able to look at a 1999 5.0 Explorer until about 10:30 a.m. central time. My brother is
driving a 1999 which would be more like yours than my 1997 MM 5.0 one or 1998 Explorer 5.0 truck. I won't be around them until about 9 a.m. tomorrow.

99% sure that’s your washer fluid tubing. Tends to break.

Ok good. Was hoping it wasn't a vacuum tube
Thanks!

It’s the window washer feed to the nozzles from the window washer pump
