Default S2 wont run now,can u lot help???

Hi,someone must be able to help,my s2 has been runnin fine the whole time ive had it but tonight i got this problem,i only drove abot 6 or 7 miles to a mates,and as i was almost there it would cut out on idle,just didnt want to tick over,so i thought it must be a air leak and found a pipe off (not sure what its called)but it connects down below the mfi inlet unit,hard pipe which goes into sumink round?well i reconnected it and thought it would be fine,started it up and ticked over again fine,i reved it from the cable while i looked at the engine and it cut out when revs died down and wont start now and feels jumpy when i turn it over?
can any1 help me on this please?

Just reads like another air leak to me, at first I was thinking fuel but if it runs ok it can't be. Have another look round

Sounds like an air leak to me aswell. If you have boost/vacuum gauge looking at what it does will tell you a lot.
