If I'm looking at that picture correctly, that is the top vac pipe of the
2 vac pipes that connect to the rear of the throttle body.
Is that correct?

If so, then that is the fuel tank vent pipe, (evaporative emission control),
and yes, it should be connected.

thank you for that its done thanks alot

If you follow the smallest pipe back, it should go to a small unit
with an electrical connection on it mounted just behind your
cylinder head. Another pipe, the same size, will also come out of that unit
and track down towards the rear of your wheel arch and disappear
inside the wheel arch and out of your engine bay area.

The small white pipe that you are holding with your left hand, is the EGR
pipe, (exhaust gas recirculation), that plugs into your throttle body,
and the other end tracks back around to other side of your cylinder
head where it connects to a large valve which is your EGR valve.

Is all the above correct?

thank you for that its done thanks alot

Glad I could help you.  

As you see, a picture paints a thousand words.  

That pipe being off, meant that every time you opened your throttle,
that you were pumping fuel fumes into your engine bay.
You'll be a lot safer now!

Yes that's correct. You might want to push it in a bit more as it looks like it's going to pop out with all the vibrations of the engine. Best to be safe than sorry.
