If the connection involved a plastic clamping ring then the fact it is apart menas it is BROKEN. If it has a metal worm gear clamp then it can be reassembled.
In all these posts there is no mention of model so I can't look the part up specifically but on many of the v6 and v8 applications the rubber accordian/flexible portion is manufacturered to the hard plastic with a plastic band that when broken is not replacable separately. If you can get the two pieces back together and sealed (I used duct tape on the first one I saw till I could get the new part which came assembled) I would clear the codes readapt and wait. If that hose was apart it makes the air mass meter useless as the air doesn't pass through it.
