Tubes that connect to the intake accordion hose??
 
I was trying to move the accordion tube and broke one of the three elbow joints that jut out of the accordion (very top one). I ordered a new one from dealer but it won't get here until Friday. I just changed the coils, and wanted to deflood, change plugs and wires. I was wondering whether it will be problem starting the car without that top tube attached. Other option is to superglue it back on as temp fix until I get the replacement. Just wondering what it's for, and whether I need to wait to get the replacement. I just need to get my car started and warmed up to move across the street (street cleaning tomorrow) otherwise I'd just wait. Thanks

A brass plumbing crimp elbow works quite well......
