You should probably use electrical conduit approved for this purpose, and not hose - anything else is unsafe and will fail. To get the cable through the conduit: Find a styrofoam ball, ping-pong ball, or similar very lightweight ball just slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the conduit. Push the end of a piece of lightweight nylon twine (longer than your conduit) through the ball and tie it in a knot. On one end of the conduit, attach the hose of a shop-vac - and at the other end, drop in your ball. The vacuum will suck the ball and twine through the conduit. Retrieve the ball. Then use the twine to pull your line through the conduit (if small wire), or to pull a length of stronger rope or cable through before attaching it your wire.

Are volts a kind of amp?

If the question refers to Voltage (volts) and Amperes (amp), then the answer is no! If you imagine holding a garden hose with the spray at the end closed preventing water flow, but the tap (valve) at the other end open, there will be a pressure of water in the hose, but no water flow. The pressure in the hose (measured in Bar) is similar to the voltage applied to a cable. When the spray is operated there is a flow of water through the hose, this is similar to the current flowing through a cable and its load when a switch is closed, the current is measured in amperes.

Why the emission lite won't shut off after fixing a disconnected hose?

The computer needs reset. Disconnect the negative battery cable and let it set for 15 to 30 minutes. This will allow the computer to lose power and reset itself when the cable is reconnected. This should fix the problem if indeed the emission light is on because the hose was disconnected.
