What to do with this open port on a 3.2

As part of replacing my micro idle switch I pulled the throttle off (top tip from John Walker), and in doing so discovered that I have an open port. This is taken looking from the rear of the throttle assembly towards.



What line should connect here? OK to just cap it to make sure I don't have a leak / am not getting false air?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Goes to the valve by your oil fill cap

Ah - thanks.

Bet it is supposed to connect here;



OK if I cap it for now and use the car while I track down a replacement hose and valve etc?

That is a pic of your vacuum limiter (a simple pcv valve), your air valve should be a few inches up and forward from there.
