The flexible rubber air intake tube provides filtered air to your engine. More importantly, the air entering the tube is measured with an electronic sensor which tells the car's computer how to mix enough fuel and air to run properly. If there is a leak in the tube, this will affect the air/fuel ratio and cause rough running.
Check this by simply feeling the accordion-like section with your fingers while trying to separate the folds. Also, check for cracking in the rubber, a sign the part is about to fail.
Let's hope electric cars gain popularity; ICE cars are too complicated, have too many interrelated parts to run properly and just are inefficient!
