HELP!!!Car won't start!

Please Help! I was driving home this evening (1986 900SPG) and accelerating from a light, in 4th gear, boost about 1/2 way, when I heard a pop/whirring sound from the engine. Sounded like it was coming from the left side. It was only a short sound, no sounds afterward, but I lost power. I took my foot off the gas and when I did I noticed the idle was all over the place. I managed to get home, I still could accelerate, just not too much. When I got home I opened the hood and saw a hose laying loose on the intake manifold. It had come off a plastic valve(?) near the intake. This “valve” has a larger hose going to the AIC valve. To make a long story short (sorry) now the car turns over but will not start. It seems to fire for a second then die. I'd REALLY appreciate any help, preferably tonight so I can drive to work tomorrow. Thank you.
