Vacume hose diagram

Does anyone know where I can get a vacume hose diagram for my 01 4.4 engine? There is a small 2" hose coming out from under my left side valve cover and I can't see where it should go. I get an intermittent "Check Engine" light and I think that is the culprit.

Thanks

Left side when looking at it from the front or sitting in it... better yet, Drivers side or passengers side? If passengers side check if it is the one going to the secondary air valve on the front of the exhaust manifold, if so that very well be the colprit for the check engine light.

Thanks, that was the drivers side. I looked but didn't see any connections to mate to.

Could it be the transmission vent hose? if so, this does not connect to anything. It passes under the driver's side plastic cover above the valve covers.

As for the check engine light, you can have one of the auto parts stores read the code(s). Once you have the code(s) the troubleshooting begins.
