If im not mistaken its a silencer box to quiet down the intanke niose, and you so called squeaky belt might be due to a loose belt, and its where all the other belts are spinning on the motor.

air intake resonator

so its not a biggy if i dont get it fixed right away? can any harm be done just letting it hang until i get more $$?

well if it is not fully attached to the intake, then you are getting unfiltered air through your engine.

dust = prematurely worn valve seats and valves

i was driving down the street and thought i ran out of gas at first bc my car kept dieing, but i wasnt on emtpy. pulled over and looked under the hood and noticed the air intake resonator came off. the car runs when i taped it back on but when the tape get loose the car dies.

wat the easiest way to fix this besides tape. i mean i could get a short ram off ebay for like 10 bucks, would that fix the problem if i put that on there?

Your car ran like crap because you lost the vacuum in the air intake. I would just get an ebay intake or a nice intake if you have the money. Or if you live near a junk yard just pull a stock intake off a Galant.
