Chances are it is a vacuum hose. If it dealt with the heater, it would most likely be leaking coolant. If you can upload a pic, it would help.

Describe heater not working? Vacuum operated controls get vac feed from small hose with plastic line 1/8 inch down behind intake at firewall. That hose you describe sounds like pcv hose. Is it left or right of oil cap?

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
