Default Vacuum hose on intake manifold

I running a swapped b16a2 in a ek hatch. On the stock intake manifold there is a vacuum line on the opposite side of the TB towards the bottom. I dont have a hose connected there but when I plug it, drops the idle from 1500-2000 down to 800. What is it and where is it supposed to plug into? Is it the cruise control vacuum?

Sounds like the cruise control nipple. If theres nothing attached to it its called a vacuum leak. Cap it.

they told you is a cruise control line...ims ure you dont have cruise control on your swap. so just cap it off. if you have cruise control then you have to find where it goes.

there are lil rubber caps i used to cap mine. just go to your local parts store and ask them for vacuum port plugs or something. until you do that look for a hose that will fit snug around the nipple and block it off with a bolt at the other end. vacuum leaks are bad.... so fix it fast
