Popped it off again and I just realized there was a hose connecting near the end of the tube opposite the air filter (the end closest to throttle body). On my car it's begun to harden and the other end appears to have cracked off. Where does that other end go?

 

what year is the car??? on a 95 it runs to the little box under the intake manifold....on other years it runs to the little nipple on the valve cover

 

'98, SOHC. Where on the valve cover? The Haynes doesn't specify I think, or I might have overlooked it?

 

right on top...on the right side if you are looking at the engine

 

Eh? I found a hole on the right side of the engine (viewing from front of engine, "left side"), on the backside across from the air filter. Once again the hose cracked off. Going to replace that hose.
