Need some help identifying this...



In the upper left section of the picture above there is cylindrical part with two tabs and hose barb. It sits slightly behind and between the #5 and #6 coils.

If anyone here knows:

> what it is (i'm curious)
> Most importantly if that hose barb is supposed to be attached to something or be covered by a "plug"...

When I took the engine cover off to change the plugs and coils that hose barb had a very dried out and cracked piece of what looked to be rubber or plastic on it.

It was open on the end, it looked like a hose that was brittle and broke off. However there is no hose anywhere near that area that I can see/find. I'm thinking it was maybe a cap that got brittle and fell apart.

My concern is if its vacuum and should be capped I need plug it. if its vacuum or pressure or whatever and should be connected to something I need to find the hose...

So, if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you...
