n00b question but what does this do? It is by the passenger side firewall.

Thank you

That looks like the purge canister solenoid, that should hook to a plastic box that is located under the airbox along the framerail, it is part of the gas tank vapor system.

is it supposed to be hooked to a vacuum line too?

okay it definitely is that. What size hoses does it use? the one that goes towards the engine is dry rotted so bad it isn't even a hose anymore. Do they go bad usually? If it isn't too expensive I'll just replace it

Should hook to manifold vacuum, not sure be'n a sn95 as to size, look at veryuseful.com but likely 1/4 or 3/8 id

They go bad all the time. Fuel vapor eats them up and can cause a huge vacuum leak. I bet the hose to the canister is also eat up too. When you replace them use fuel line, not vacuum line so it lasts better.
