What is it? Missing vacuum hose?

Should this fitting in the entry to intake manifold have a vacuum hose connected? Going to where? This is a 95 F150 5.0L that I recently purchased. Thanks.

Not sure what you are asking but here are two photos of the same place on the same size engine and year.

Throttle body pre-heater, coolant runs through it. A lot of times the one of the nipples will break off and people just plug the coolant lines that went to it.

Thanks Subford. It looks like I have a couple of things missing. You see where I have the pencil sticking out? It appears yours has a hose or some rubber fitting connected.

So that was a pencil sticking out, I thought it was some kind of a tube.

I bet that's what it was. My son had something similar on his Ford Ranger. Thanks.
