Can this crack cause a vacuum leak?

My 2010 Suburban has been giving me the p0174 and p0171 intermittently with no check engine light. Upon visually inspecting the engine I found this. Could this be the cause?

Yes, it's unmetered entering the system. Seal it up and see if the numbers change and codes go away.

How can I seal this?

I think I need a more "permanent" solution don't you think?

temp just duct tape it up.

Maybe a bit of super glue? I don't feel like duct tape might hold for long.

JB Weld is your friend. Clean it well first with something like brake clean and it should be a permanent repair.

No chemicals, they can mess up your O2 sensor readings. Just use duct tape or something at first. Then you can get an Air Aid Junior or another from the local salvage yard.

Good point, I didn't think about that

^^^ This. Tape it up for now but get a pre-loved one from your local Upull or a junkyard (search www.car-part.com, "air cleaner").

Many Thanks for all. I will just get a used one from my local salvage yard.

I would gently melt it back together with a soldering iron, and snip off a strip of similar material from that big tab (on the left side of your picture) to use as filler.

I did that to a hole in my intake manifold, and it's holding up great.

A bit of silicone, glue gun, electrical tape, jb weld... Easy fix.
