Air distribution hose is the culprit? V70-XC70 1998

My '98 v70 AWD (130 K miles and counting) seem to have a delay when I step on the gas. The check engine light then came on. Of course, this happened today (Christmas Eve) and mechanics are closed. I was planning to drive to Albany NY (about 300 miles round trip) for Christmas, but I'm a bit anxious. When I was looking for possible culprits, I found holes in the flexible part of what I think is the "air distribution hose." I patched w/duct tape. I am wondering whether this might be the culprit: would it cause a delay/slight loss of power? Also, if so, and if the duct tape patch works, can I drive it w/out causing damage? It seems to run fine except for the lag. Thanks
