I was changing the air filter in my daughter's ES and while holding the airbox lid, suddenly felt a release of lid pressure with my left hand as I was installing the filter.
My advice: If your air hose that connects the air box to the intake is the original one, REPLACE IT, ASAP!
Until you do get the part, you might want to carry around a roll of duct tape, just in case your car starts bucking and stalling. Wrapping the split with tape will at least get you home.
Installation of the new hose is fairly easy with a socket set and some paper towels (Your hands will get dirty).
