Engine Performance problem
2003 Buick Century 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

i have been experiencing loss of acceleration for a while and have been checking all the systems as per the trouble shooting manual. I recently replaced all the spark plugs and while i was doing that I noticed a small capillary tube broken. The tube is connected on one side to the top of the engine manifold and the other is routed along the body to a bundle of hoses in below the coolant tank. The tube is sucking air and I assume that there is a vaccum leak. does this have anything to do with my engine not accerating normally ?

it might be, it's probably the tube for the cannister purge. if you can find a tube to fit tightly over your current one then you cn fix it that way or just replace the tube......
