No Power When I Get on the Accelerator?!?!?!

yeah plugs/wires and connections and coil are brand new and connected perfect...i had a feeling it might have sumthing to do with fuel pressure as well..now heres a pic of a line (i think a fuel line) that my ******* father snapped when messing with my car..and the two broken ends are just connected together by a soft rubber hose...

is it maybe not holdin enough pressure???

That's the line that goes back to charcoal canister. Only fuel vapor is in that line so I don't think that's your issue. Double check that all the spark plugs boots are snapped properly over the plugs. What shape are your spark plugs in and what brand?
